2009 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (U.S., Japan-America, and German-American)

提案：EFRI-0903867 PI：Janet Hunziker组织：美国国家工程院该奖项部分支持美国国家工程院举办的一系列三个国家和国际工程前沿（FOE）研讨会：德美FOE（2009年4月23日至25日，波茨坦，德国），美国FOE（2009年9月8日至10日，加利福尼亚州欧文市）和日美FOE（2009年11月9日至11日，加利福尼亚州欧文市）。 每个专题讨论会侧重于四个专题领域。2009年的主题包括科学发现的工程工具，健康信息学和医疗保健提供系统，前沿光学微和纳米器件和材料，弹性和可持续的基础设施，脑科学的突破性技术，模拟全球气候变化，工业应用的新型材料，知识管理的最先进技术，复杂系统设计和控制，可再生能源，生物系统工程和极端环境材料。 每次研讨会都有60至100名杰出的早期职业科学家和工程师参加。会议包括演讲者关于前沿研究，新兴技术以及跨科学和工程领域合作机会的演讲。研讨会促进跨学科和国际合作，并作为美国研究和创新的许多新兴前沿的参考点。

Proposal: EFRI-0903867PI: Janet Hunziker Organization: National Academy of Engineering This award partially supports a series of three national and international Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) Symposia by the National Academy of Engineering: German-American FOE (April 23-25, 2009, in Potsdam, Germany), U.S. FOE (September 8-10, 2009, in Irvine, CA), and Japan-America FOE (November 9-11, 2009, in Irvine, CA). Each symposium focuses on four topical areas. Topics for 2009 include engineering tools for scientific discovery, health informatics and health care delivery systems, frontier optical micro and nano devices and materials, resilient and sustainable infrastructures, breakthrough technologies in brain science, modeling global climate change, novel materials for industrial applications, state-of-the-art technologies for knowledge management, complex systems design and control, renewable energy, biosystems engineering, and materials for extreme environments. Between 60 and 100 outstanding, early-career scientists and engineers participate in each symposium. Sessions consist of presentations by speakers on leading edge research, emerging technologies, and opportunities for collaboration across science and engineering fields. The symposia foster interdisciplinary and international collaborations and serve as a reference point for many of the emerging frontiers in research and innovation in the U.S. Presentations from the U.S. FOE seminar will be posted on the NAE FOE web site.
