International: Cooperative Activity in Nanotechnology between American and Japanese Universities

OISE-0623642（Neogi，Arup; University of North Texas）IRES：美国和日本大学之间的纳米技术国际合作活动“摘要这个IRES奖是美国北德克萨斯大学和日本筑波大学和岛根大学之间的合作研究项目，利用每个机构的互补专业知识，在纳米光子材料研究的跨学科领域培训美国研究生和本科生。该研究计划涉及来自美国和日本的物理学，材料科学，生物学和电气工程系的跨学科研究团队，以开发基于等离子体/光子带隙纳米结构和基于DNA的晶体管的纳米级光发射器。在岛根大学，Yasuhisa Fujita博士领导了基于ZnO纳米颗粒和紫外光子带隙半导体的新型纳米级发光体的开发合作。在筑波大学，基于纳米光子的等离子体纳米结构和基于DNA的混合分子电子器件研究将与Kiyoshi Asakawa博士合作进行。该奖项将每年资助6名学生在日本进行为期7-8周的夏季研究体验，为期三年。每年的学生将包括三名研究生和三名本科生，其中至少有两名将来自代表性不足的少数民族。日本科学促进会将支持UNT和筑波大学之间的学生和教师交流计划的其他方面。

OISE-0623642 (Neogi, Arup; University of North Texas)IRES: International Cooperative Activity in Nanotechnology between American and Japanese Universities"ABSTRACT This IRES award is a collaborative research program between University of North Texas in the U.S. and Tsukuba University and Shimane University in Japan, drawing on complementary expertise at each institution to train U.S. graduate and undergraduate students in the interdisciplinary field of nanophotonic materials research. The research plan involves interdisciplinary research teams from the Department of Physics, Material Science, Biology and Electrical Engineering from the U.S. and Japan to develop nanoscale light emitters based on plasmonic/photonic bandgap nanostrucutres and DNA-based transistors. At Shimane University, Dr. Yasuhisa Fujita lead the collaboration in development of novel nanoscale light emitters based on ZnO nanoparticles and UV photonic bandgap semiconductors. At Tsukuba University, nanophotonic-based plasmonic nanostructures and DNA-based hybrid molecular electron device research will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. Kiyoshi Asakawa. The award will support six students per year for three years for 7-8 week summer research experiences in Japan. Each year the students will include three graduate and three undergraduate students, at least two of whom will be from underrepresented minorities. The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science will support additional aspects of the student and faculty exchange program between UNT and University of Tsukuba.
