The Division of Chemistry supports Liam Pingree of the University of Washington (UW) as a Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 academic years. Dr. Pingree's research is targeted at the development of new atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques focused on understanding organic solar cell efficiencies and lifetimes. Pingree will examine electronic properties at the nanometer scale using AFM to monitor fluctuations in mobility, charge decay rates, and variations in monochromatic efficiency. This will enable detailed studies of the relationship between the physical structure of the materials and their electronic properties. An improved understanding of these relationships could lead to significant improvements in organic solar cells. The service component of this project focuses on the education of the public on alternative energy sources. Pingree will design and carry out an educational campaign on the Seattle metro bus system in conjunction with the UW School of Art's Visual Communications and Design Program and the UW Department of Technical Communications. This campaign will focus on on-transit education while directing people to a website that provides information on more detailed topics and other educational resources at the University of Washington. The goals of the campaign are to reach individuals missed by traditional outreach programs and to improve the scientific literacy of the Seattle public. If successful, these programs could be implemented in other metro areas within the United States.The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program seeks new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Fellows leverage their research expertise through projects that address areas of national need. Their projects enhance research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to workforce development and job creation. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.

化学系支持华盛顿大学（UW）的利亚姆·普格里（Liam Pingree），作为2007-2008和2008-2009学年的Discovery Corps博士后研究员。 Pingree博士的研究旨在开发新的原子力显微镜（AFM）技术，旨在了解有机太阳能电池效率和寿命。 Pingree将使用AFM在纳米尺度上检查电子特性，以监测迁移率的波动，电荷衰减速率和单色效率的变化。 这将详细研究材料的物理结构及其电子特性之间的关系。 对这些关系的改善可能会导致有机太阳能电池的显着改善。 该项目的服务部分着重于公众对替代能源的教育。 Pingree将与UW艺术学院的视觉通信和设计计划以及UW技术通信部一起设计和开展有关西雅图地铁总线系统的教育运动。这项运动将重点关注跨界教育，同时将人们带到华盛顿大学提供有关更详细的主题和其他教育资源的信息的网站。 该运动的目标是接触传统的外展计划错过的个人，并提高西雅图公众的科学素养。 如果成功的话，这些计划可以在美国境内其他都会区实施。发现军团奖学金计划寻求新的博士后和专业发展模型，将研究专业知识与专业服务相结合。发现军团的研究员通过解决国家需求领域的项目来利用他们的研究专业知识。他们的项目增强了研究能力和基础设施，并有助于劳动力发展和创造就业机会。 Discovery Corps计划支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。
