Collaborative Research: PASI: Nano-Bio: The Intersection of bio, condensed matter and solid state physics; Palmas del Mar, Humacao, PR, May 15 - 29, 2010

这项由 NSF 和能源部 (DOE) 共同支持的泛美高级研究所 (PASI) 颁奖典礼将于 2010 年 5 月 15 日至 29 日在波多黎各波多黎各大学乌马考校区举行。 PASI 由马里兰大学帕克分校的 Luz J. Martinez-Miranda 博士和波多黎各大学的 Idalia Ramos 博士组织，将讨论生物物理学、凝聚态物理学和固态物理学（简称纳米生物）的交叉研究。该活动将使研究人员能够：1）与各自领域的其他专业人士更有效地沟通； 2）在纳米生物混合领域进行有效的研究； 3）探索从不熟悉的实验技术中获得的结果； 4）对生物物理学和凝聚态物理/固态物理学领域做出贡献。该活动将提供纳米生物界特别感兴趣的演示和讲座。本次 PASI 的预期成果包括研究人员有机会与美国和拉丁美洲的纳米生物研究人员交换意见。对于 PASI 学生/参与者，它将为国际博士后或未来的研究合作提供潜在的顾问。 PASI 的结果将通过 PASI 网页以及讲座笔记和其他讲座材料进行传播。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place May 15-29, 2010 at the University of Puerto Rico-Humacao Campus, Puerto Rico. Organized by Dr. Luz J. Martinez-Miranda of the University of Maryland-College Park, and Dr. Idalia Ramos of the University of Puerto Rico, the PASI will discuss research at the intersection of biophysics, and condensed matter and solid state physics, or nano-bio in short. The activity will allow researchers to: 1) more effectively communicate with other professionals in their field; 2) perform effective research in the hybrid field of nano-bio; 3) explore results obtained from unfamiliar experimental techniques; and 4) contribute to the fields of biophysics and condensed matter/solid state physics. The activity will provide presentations and lectures of particular interest to the nano-bio community. Expected outcomes from this PASI include the opportunity for researchers to exchange views with nano-bio researchers in the US and Latin America. For PASI student/participants, it will provide potential advisers for either an international postdoctorate, or future research collaborations. The results of the PASI will be disseminated through a PASI webpage, together with lecture notes, and other materials from the lectures.
