International Research Experience in Nanotechnology-NNIN and NIMS

摘要提案编号：0727552 PI名称：TIWARI，SandipPI的机构：康奈尔大学提案标题：纳米技术的国际研究经验-NNIN和NIMSO在三年期间，这个国际研究经验的学生（IRES）计划提供了一个夏季国际研究经验的学生在纳米技术与国家材料科学研究所（NIMS）在日本的合作伙伴关系。该计划建立在现有的国家纳米技术基础设施网络（NNIN）研究经验的本科生计划，提供第二个夏季国际纳米技术研究经验。五名本科生将从前一个夏天的NNIN REU计划的70名候选人中选出，以确保他们拥有技能和知识的基础，从而在由领先科学家指导的先进国际实验室中建立个性化的国际经验。学生们将前往日本进行一个为期九周的研究项目的指导下，在NIMS的资深科学家。返回美国后，他们将在NNIN REU集会上与收集的参与者分享他们的国际研究经验。被选中的本科生将在NIMS高级科学家的指导下，在NIMS从事一个具有挑战性的纳米技术研究项目。项目将来自纳米技术的所有领域，包括电子和光学器件，电子和光学材料，微机械器件和结构，纳米材料和纳米生物技术。本科生将有望完成他们的项目，并在NIMS他们的主机研究小组作出实质性的科学贡献。该计划以为期多日的NNIN REU集会结束，参与者将有机会促进美国国内NNIN REU参与者的全球意识。该项目将每年在世界领先的纳米技术研究中心之一，日本国家材料科学研究所，吸引五名有才华和积极性的本科生参加夏季国际研究体验。学生将建立在他们以前的纳米技术经验，进一步增加他们的纳米技术经验，同时发展全球科学家的技能。他们将学习在国际环境中工作和交流，同时完成一个技术项目。他们将有机会发展独立性和信心，无论是在他们的能力做最先进的研究，并在他们的工作能力和互动在国际研究环境。回国后，他们还将把自己的经历传达给美国的同龄人，进一步培养必要的沟通技能和传播经验。该计划旨在建立在对纳米技术表达的兴趣的基础上，并培养培养具有全球意识的科学家和工程师所需的学术、研究和社交技能。目标已经提出，以提高参与者的性别，种族/民族，和机构的多样性。

ABSTRACTProposal No.: 0727552PI Name: TIWARI, SandipPI's Institution: Cornell UniversityProposal Title: International Research Experience in Nanotechnology-NNIN and NIMSOver a three year period this International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program provides a summer international research experience for students in nanotechnology in partnership with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan. This program builds upon the existing National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) Research Experience for Undergraduates program by providing a second summer international nanotechnology research experience. Five undergraduate students will be selected from 70 candidates of the prior summer's NNIN REU program assuring that they have a foundation of skills and knowledge upon which to build an individualized international experience in an advanced international laboratory mentored by leading scientists. Students will travel to Japan to undertake a nine week research project under the direction of a senior scientist at NIMS. Upon return to the U.S. they will share their international research experience with the collected participants at the NNIN REU Convocation. The selected undergraduate students will each engage in a challenging nanotechnology research project at NIMS, under the guidance of a NIMS senior staff scientist. Projects will be drawn from all areas of nanotechnology, including electronic and optical devices, electronic and optical materials, micromechanical devices and structures, nanomaterials, and nanobiotechnology. The undergraduate students will be expected to complete their project and make a substantial scientific contribution to their host research group at NIMS. The program concludes with a multi-day NNIN REU Convocation in which the participants will have the opportunity to promote global awareness among U.S. domestic NNIN REU participants. This project will engage five talented and motivated undergraduates each year in a summer international research experience at one of the world's leading nanotechnology research centers, the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan. The students will build upon their prior experience in nanotechnology, adding further to their nanotechnology experience while developing the skills of a global scientist. They will learn to work and communicate in an international environment while completing a technical project. They will have the opportunity to develop independence and confidence both in their ability to do state of the art research and in their ability to work and interact in an international research setting. Upon their return, they will also communicate their experience to their peers in the U.S., further building essential communication skills and propagating the experience. This program is designed to build upon expressed interest in nanotechnology and develop the academic, research, and social skills necessary for the development of globally aware scientists and engineers. Goals have been presented, to enhance participant gender, race/ethnicity, and institutional diversity.
