Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes on Frontiers in Imaging Science; Colombia, Summer, 2010

这个泛美高级研究院(PASI)奖由国家科学基金会和能源部(DOE)联合支持，将于2010年初夏在哥伦比亚的洛斯安第斯大学和哥伦比亚国立大学举行。由佛罗里达大西洋大学的安吉拉·古兹曼博士组织的PASI将讨论成像科学的前沿。讲座和演讲将涉及当代成像研究的下列主题：光学显微镜的进展，改进天文成像的新方法，无透镜操作的新成像方法，以及有助于理解电磁波和声波成像的新理论发展。PASI的预期成果包括：(A)确定和加强目前从事成像研究的科学家之间的跨学科合作；(B)更有效地利用实验设施，并可能改变佛罗里达大西洋大学和佛罗里达马克斯·普朗克成员生物成像研究所的成像研究合作方向；(C)拉丁美洲和美国大学之间交换从事成像研究的研究生；以及(D)在美国注册成像科学和工程项目的拉美裔人数增加。PASI的结果将通过为该活动开发的PASI网站提供。

0921656GuzmanThis Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in early summer 2010 at the Universidad de los Andes and the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Colombia. Organized by Dr. Angela Guzman of the Florida Atlantic University, the PASI will address frontiers in imaging science. Lectures and presentations will relate to the following topics of contemporary imaging research: advances in optical microscopy, new methods for improving astronomical imaging, novel imaging methods that operate without lenses, and new theoretical developments that facilitate an understanding of the imaging of electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Expected outcomes from the PASI include: (a) identification and reinforcement of cross-disciplinary collaborations between current scientists engaged in imaging research; (b) a more effective utilization of experimental facilities and a possible redirection of imaging research collaborations at Florida Atlantic University and the Florida Max Planck Member Institute for Bioimaging; (c) an increase in the exchange of graduate students between Latin American and U.S. universities doing imaging research; and (d) an increase in the number of Hispanics enrolling in imaging science and engineering programs in the United States. Results from the PASI will be made available through a PASI website developed for the activity.
