5th International Conference on Photo-Excited Processes and Applications

第五届光激发过程和应用国际会议NSF网站摘要第五届光激发过程和应用国际会议(ICPEPA)将于2006年9月在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔举行。5-ICPEPA将汇聚一个由材料科学家、工程师、物理学家和生物学家组成的跨学科小组，并将在快速发展的光激发过程和应用研究领域创造一个积极交流知识和思想的环境。将确定激光-物质相互作用的基本原理和应用研究的前沿，当前的研究需要和不足将变得更加明显。会议将由该领域的知名领导者和聪明的年轻研究人员进行16-18次特邀讲座，以及大约140-170次口头和海报演讲。当ICPEPA在美国首次亮相时，来自世界各地的研究人员传统上的广泛代表将保持不变。预计参加会议的代表中将有大约一半是国际参与者。美国国家科学基金会为美国学生和年轻研究人员提供的旅行补助金将使他们能够参加顶级研究会议，并为他们提供在当前高度感兴趣的科学领域的培训机会。对高级与会者的支持将有助于吸引该领域的知名领导人，并保持会议的高科学水平。来自不同国家的年轻和知名研究人员的广泛国际参与将对美国和外国研究人员同样有益，促进思想交流，提供建立合作的机会，吸引最好的国际研究人员和学生来到美国，并使美国学生和年轻研究人员接触到国际机会。会议网站：http://www.seas.virginia.edu/academic/icpepa5/

5th International Conference on Photo-Excited Processes and ApplicationsAbstract for the NSF Web SiteThe 5th International Conference on Photo-Excited Processes and Applications (ICPEPA) will take place in Charlottesville, Virginia, in September 2006. 5-ICPEPA will bring together an interdisciplinary group of materials scientists, engineers, physical scientists, and biologists and will create an environment for active exchange of knowledge and ideas in the rapidly evolving research field of photo-excited processes and applications. The forefront of the research into the fundamentals and applications of laser-matter interactions will be identified and current research needs and shortcoming will become more apparent. The conference will feature 16-18 invited lectures given by established leaders in the field and bright young researchers, as well as approximately 140-170 contributed oral and poster presentations. The traditionally broad representation of researchers from around the globe will be maintained as the ICPEPA makes its debut in the United States. Approximately half of the delegates to the conference are expected to be international participants.The NSF funding of travel grants to US students and young researchers will enable their participation in a top-level research conference, and provide them with training opportunities in a scientific area of high current interest. The support for senior participants will help to attract well-established leaders in the field and to maintain a high scientific level of the conference. Broad international participation of young and established researchers from different countries will be equally beneficial for the US and foreign researchers, facilitating exchange of ideas, providing opportunities to establish collaborations, attracting best international researchers and students to the US, and exposing the US students and young researchers to international opportunities.Conference web site: http://www.seas.virginia.edu/academic/icpepa5/
