ABSTRACTNational Science FoundationProposal Number: CTS-0630519Principal Investigator: Segre, CarloAffiliation: Illinois Inst of TechnologyProposal Title: Sponsorship and Expanded Young Investigator Support for the SRMS-5 ConferenceThis grant will provide partial support for the fifth International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation in Materials Science (SRMS-5) to be held in Chicago from July 30 to August 2, 2006. This conference has, since its inception in 1997, been promoting the application of synchrotron radiation to engineering research. The grant will partly cover the costs of the conference, but more importantly, will enable the participation of a cohort of young scientists and engineers who might otherwise not be able to attend. Synchrotron radiation provides an expanding number of novel, sensitive, and enabling tools and techniques for scientists and engineers in all major disciplines. The U.S. Department of Energy has constructed and is operating four major synchrotron facilities and the NSF and individual states are operating several others in the ultraviolet to x-ray spectrum. With the availability of these state-of-the-art facilities and their powerful characterization and fabrication techniques, there is increasing interest in exploiting them for innovative and frontier research in diverse engineering fields. Synchrotron radiation allows researchers to look, probe, examine, image, analyze, and fabricate in ways that have not been possible before and whose potential is just beginning to be realized. Applications in the thermal sciences, in materials characterization, and in micro and nano-manufacturing are especially encouraging and fall in several of the NSF priority research areas. The conference will bring together leading scientists and engineers from a wide array of fields including materials science, nano-science and engineering, thermal processes, engineered materials, surfaces and interfaces, and others. With NSF support for the conference, participant support will be provided for ten young engineers and scientists to attend SRMS-5. The selection of the ten awardees will be made in a two-step process, starting with screening of applicants by a subset of the conference organizing committee and followed by final selection by the PIs who span the engineering and science disciplines and have significant synchrotron experience. By supporting the attendance of young researchers at SRMS-5, the conference can help to accelerate the adoption of synchrotron radiation techniques in the engineering community.

国家科学基金项目编号：CTS-0630519主要研究者： 塞格雷、卡洛 伊利诺伊州理工学院提案标题：SRMS-5会议的赞助和扩大的青年研究者支持这项赠款将为将于2006年7月30日至8月2日在芝加哥举行的第五届材料科学同步辐射国际会议（SRMS-5）提供部分支持。该会议自1997年成立以来，一直致力于促进同步辐射在工程研究中的应用。这笔赠款将部分支付会议的费用，但更重要的是，将使一批年轻科学家和工程师能够参加会议，否则他们可能无法参加。同步辐射为所有主要学科的科学家和工程师提供了越来越多的新颖，灵敏和使能的工具和技术。美国能源部已经建造并正在运行四个主要的同步加速器设施，NSF和各州正在运行紫外线到X射线光谱的其他几个设施。随着这些最先进的设施及其强大的表征和制造技术的可用性，人们越来越有兴趣利用它们进行不同工程领域的创新和前沿研究。同步辐射使研究人员能够以以前不可能的方式进行观察，探测，检查，成像，分析和制造，其潜力刚刚开始实现。在热科学，材料表征，微和纳米制造中的应用特别令人鼓舞，并在NSF的几个优先研究领域中。 会议将汇集来自材料科学、纳米科学与工程、热处理、工程材料、表面和界面等广泛领域的顶尖科学家和工程师。在NSF对会议的支持下，将为10名年轻工程师和科学家参加SRMS-5提供参与者支持。 十名获奖者的选择将分两步进行，首先由会议组委会的一部分筛选申请人，然后由跨越工程和科学学科并具有重要同步加速器经验的PI进行最终选择。通过支持年轻研究人员参加SRMS-5，会议可以帮助加速同步辐射技术在工程界的采用。
