Doctoral Research in Multifunctional Optical Nanomaterials (HBCU-RISE)

汉普顿大学HBCU-RISE项目涉及多功能光学纳米材料的博士研究，以加强物理学博士项目的研究和教育。主要目标是：1)发展世界一流的光学纳米物理研究和教育计划；2)增加以纳米物理为重点的博士学位名额；3)建立7-16年级学生接触纳米科学与技术研究的管道。主要研究方向为：光学用途的多功能纳米材料的光学纳米物理：提出了用于激光武器防御、生化传感、光热肿瘤消融和温度传感的光学贵重纳米材料的开发、光谱化和多功能化。拟议的研究和教育活动的结果将通过出版物、会议报告、7-16年级科学教师讲习班、外展活动和网络出版物传播，并将由内部和外部咨询委员会每年进行评估。

This HBCU-RISE project at Hampton University involves doctoral research on multifunctional optical nanomaterials to strengthen research and education in the Physics Ph.D. program. The primary objectives are to: 1) develop a world-class research and education program in optical nano-physics; 2) increase the number of doctoral degrees with emphasis in nano-physics for preparing; and 3) build up the pipeline of students in grades 7-16 exposed to research in nanoscience and technology. The proposed research activities will focus on optical nanophysics of multifunctional nanomaterials in the areas of: Multifunctional Nanoscale Metals for Optical Applications: The development, optical spectroscopyl , and multi-functionalization of optical noble nanometals are proposed for the application of laser weapon defense, bio-chemical sensing, and photo-thermal tumor ablation and temperature sensing. The results of the proposed research and educational activities will be disseminated through publications, conference presentations, workshops for grades 7-16 science teachers, outreach activities, and web publications, and will be assessed annually by an internal and external advisory board.
