Student/Young Faculty Travel Support for Americas Workshop on Solid-State Sensors & Actuators 2008. To be held on June 1-5 at Hilton Head.

摘要本提案的目的是申请资金，用于支持研究生和非终身教职的初级教师参加2008年6月1日至5日在希尔顿海德举行的2008年固态传感器和致动器研讨会。研讨会的目的是在一组与会者之间传播MEMS技术领域的研究成果，这些与会者主要来自美洲。 研讨会的议程包括来自学术界和工业界的全体发言人，讨论微/纳米系统边缘研究领域的最新进展。 将有27篇论文和大约60张海报。 整个研讨会是在一个单一的会议格式。 希尔顿头部研讨会是非常有选择性的，并与旅游学生主持人，学生的顾问更有可能发送他们的学生。 更广泛的影响：计划以电子方式收集研讨会上获得的知识和分享的经验，并通过网站广泛传播。 它将有利于学生和年轻的教师，使演示文稿和/或目前的海报。 他们将从与会者那里得到反馈，这将对他们继续研究非常有益。

AbstractThe objective of this proposal is to request funds for the support of travel awards for graduate students and untenured junior faculty participation in the 2008 Solid Sate Sensors and Actuators Workshop to be held at Hilton Head from June 1-5, 2008Intellectual Merits: The purpose of the workshop is to disseminate research results in the area of MEMS technology amongst a group of attendees which are primarily from the Americas. The agenda of the workshop includes plenary speakers from academia and industry to discuss stat-of-the-art in research areas on the fringe of micro/nanosystems. There will be 27 contributed papers and approximately 60 contributed posters. The whole workshop is in a single session format. The Hilton Head workshop is very selective, and with travel student presenters, advisors of the students are much more likely to send their students. It is especially useful for the young faculty to get financial support for travel to this conference.Broader Impact: The knowledge gained and experiences shared from the workshop are planned to be captured electronically and broadly disseminated via website. It will benefit the students and the young faculty to make the presentation and /or present posters. They will get feedback from the attendees which will be very fruitful for their continuing research.
