Award AbstractProposal Title: Partial Support for Students and Junior Faculty to Attend the 5thInternational Workshop on MicroplasmasPrincipal Investigator: Lopez, Jose L. Institution: Engineering Conferences International, Inc.Proposal No: CBET- 0911808 This award provides partial support for students and junior faculty to attend the 5thInternational Workshop on Microplasmas, held in San Diego CA on 1-5 March 2009. NSF funds are targeted to increase the participation of graduate students from traditionally underrepresented groups in the STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines, as well as of junior faculty at the beginning stages of their careers.Microplasmas at atmospheric and higher pressures have properties that enable diverse applications, including remediation of gaseous pollutants, medical sterilization and biological decontamination, novel plasma processing, high-power lasers, and excimer lamps and other non-coherent vacuum-ultraviolet light sources. This workshop is the only forum devoted exclusively to the advancement of the scientific challenges and technological opportunities afforded by microplasmas. It covers experimental, theoretical, and modeling of the basic plasma physics as well as technological applications. Special emphasis is given to biological and medical applications, and one session is dedicated to industrial and commercial applications. Intellectual merit of this activity arises from the participation of microplasma experts from across the United States and from various countries, dissemination of their technical findings, their communications with students, and their visions of future research directions. Broader impacts include the consequent educational impact as well as the advancement of technologies for the betterment of society.

奖项摘要建议标题：部分支持学生和初级教师参加第五届微等离子体国际研讨会主要研究员：洛佩兹，Jose L.机构：国际工程会议，公司编号：CBET-0911808本奖项为学生和初级教师参加2009年3月1-5日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行的第五届国际微等离子体研讨会提供部分支持。NSF基金的目标是增加来自传统上代表性不足的群体的研究生在STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)学科的参与，以及初级教师在其职业生涯的开始阶段。常压及更高压力下的微等离子体具有使各种应用成为可能的特性，包括修复气体污染物、医疗消毒和生物去污、新型等离子体处理、高功率激光、准分子灯和其他非相干真空-紫外线光源。该讲习班是唯一专门讨论微等离子体带来的科学挑战和技术机遇的论坛。它涵盖了基本等离子体物理的实验、理论和建模以及技术应用。特别强调生物和医疗应用，其中一节专门讨论工业和商业应用。这项活动的学术价值源于来自美国各地和不同国家的微等离子体专家的参与，他们的技术成果的传播，他们与学生的交流，以及他们对未来研究方向的展望。更广泛的影响包括随之而来的教育影响以及技术进步以改善社会。
