THE GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON PLASMA PROCESSING SCIENCE (GRC-PPS-2006):

提案编号：CTS-0613727首席研究员：Alexander Fridman机构：德雷克塞尔大学提案标题：戈登等离子体处理科学研究会议(GRC-PPS-2006)下一届戈登等离子体处理科学研究会议(GRC-PPS)将于2006年7月16日至21日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的芒特霍利克学院举行。GRC-PPS将汇聚等离子处理科学领域的主要权威以及初级研究人员、工程师和科学家，就该领域的最新进展和未来方向交换信息和想法。戈登等离子体处理科学研究会议(GRCPPS)是一年两次的会议，具有学术价值，重点关注等离子体的基础科学和高级应用，特别是在材料被修改或制造的工业过程中。GRC-PPS及其前身等离子体化学GRC的一个持续特点是学生和博士后研究员的积极参与。GRC-PPS不仅将其视为一个交流等离子加工科学最先进水平的论坛，而且还将成为那些新进入该领域的人的指导环境。这种辅导经验是通过在海报会议上的正式讲座和活跃的讨论，以及学生在非正式讨论时间与现场领导互动的机会获得的。目前的NSF奖项延续了学生积极参与的传统，为研究生和博士后参加GRC-PPS的旅费和注册费提供部分支持。部分资金将用于扩大行业专家的参与，以加强大学与行业在等离子体处理科学方面的合作。按照戈登研究会议的通常风格，会议将有相对较少的演讲(约30次)，选择处于该领域的前沿，并在正式会议内外促进所有与会者之间的积极讨论。总出席人数将被限制在大约140人左右。我们在过去有过，预计在2006年的会议上，有来自学术界、工业界和国家实验室的混合与会者。鉴于主题的应用性质，GRC-PPS特别努力邀请工业研究人员作为与会者、演讲者、特邀演讲者和讨论领导者。这一次，我们将特别刺激工业的存在，甚至使用NSF的部分支持来做到这一点。2006年GRC-PPS的计划议题和特邀演讲者反映了该主题的跨学科、应用性，以及该领域科学和技术的地域和种族多样性以及少数群体的代表性。特邀演讲者来自美国、西欧和东南亚的工业界和大学。专家的聚集和他们的论述构成了会议的更广泛的影响。

Proposal Number: CTS-0613727Principal Investigator: Alexander FridmanInstitution: Drexel UniversityProposal Title: The Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS-2006) The next 2006 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS) will be held 16-21 July 2006 at the Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA. The GRC-PPS will bring together leading authorities, as well as beginning researchers, engineers and scientists, in the area of plasma processing science to exchange information and ideas concerning the most recent advances and future directions in this field. The Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRCPPS) is a bi-annual meeting with intellectual merit focusing on both the fundamental science and advanced applications of plasmas, particularly in the context of industrial processes where materials are modified or fabricated. A continuing feature of the GRC-PPS, and its predecessor the GRC on Plasma Chemistry, is the active involvement of students and post-doctoral fellows. The GRC-PPS sees as its charter not only to be a forum for exchange of the state of the art in plasma processing science, but also to be a tutorial environment for those new to the field. This tutorial experience is obtained through the formal lectures and lively discussions at the poster sessions, and by the opportunities the students have to interact with the leaders in the field during the informal discussion times. The present NSF award continues this tradition of active student participation by providing partial support for graduate and postdoctoral students for travel expenses and registration fees to attend the GRC-PPS. Some portion of the funding will be used to extend participation of specialists from industry to intensify university-industry collaboration in the plasma processing science. In the usual style of Gordon Research Conferences, the meeting will have a relatively small number of talks (approximately 30), chosen to be at the leading edge of the field and to promote active discussion among all participants both inside and outside the formal sessions. Total attendance will be limited to approximately 140. We have had in the past, and anticipate having at the 2006 meeting, a mix of participants from academia, industry and national labs. Given the applied nature of the subject matter, GRC-PPS has made a special effort to invite industrial researchers as attendees, post-presenters, invited speakers and discussion leaders. This time we are going to stimulate especially the industrial presence, even using some portion of the NSF support to do so. The planned topics and invited speakers for the 2006 GRC-PPS reflect the interdisciplinary, applied nature of the subject, and geographic and ethnic diversity and minority representation of the science and technology of the field. Invited speakers come from industry and universities in the US, Western Europe, and South East Asia. The gathering of the experts and their discourse make up the broader impacts of the conference.
