AbstractProposal Number: OISE-0936670Principal Investigator: Boyd EdwardsInstitution: West Virginia UniversityTitle: US-Israel DDEP: Asymptotic Methods at Nano/Microfluidic Interfaces in Electrokinetically Driven SystemsThis Doctoral Dissertation Enhancement Project (DDEP) project involves collaboration between two research groups working on different technological applications of a common phenomenology. While at the Jacob Blaustein Institute for Desert Research, which is part of the Ben Gurion University, the student will undertake a focused study of a mathematical analysis of electrokinetic problems related to a study of transport phenomena at the interface between an ion exchange membrane and a two-species bulk electrolyte. This work is to be done by the student with the host research group acting in a mentorship capacity, introducing student to methods, and providing an opportunity for discussions and feedback. The student has corresponded with the lead professor in Israel, Isaak Rubinstein, and will be working with him and his group for one month while abroad. The Rubinstein group has expertise in theoretical approaches to electro-diffusion and electro-convection near ion exchange membranes. In terms of the broader impacts, the opportunities presented by this work are valuable to the improvement of the infrastructure for nanoscale science and engineering research and education at the student?s home institution. Beyond aiding in graduate student training, the activity will provide basic knowledge essential to the development of an integrated microfluidic sample concentrators. Such a device would be beneficial for applications involving complex chemical and biochemical analyses like proteomics, genomics or chemical analyses in remote environments. Environmental applications such as water desalination and biomedical applications like electrodialysis, which depend on electrokinetic transport through nanoporous membranes, may benefit from this work as well.

摘要提案编号：OISE-0936670主要研究员：博伊德·爱德华兹机构：西弗吉尼亚大学标题：美国-以色列 DDEP：电动驱动系统中纳米/微流体界面的渐近方法这个博士论文增强项目（DDEP）项目涉及两个研究小组之间的合作，这些研究小组致力于共同现象学的不同技术应用。 在本古里安大学下属的雅各布布劳斯坦沙漠研究所，学生将重点研究电动问题的数学分析，该问题与离子交换膜和两种本体电解质之间界面的输运现象研究相关。 这项工作将由学生完成，主办研究小组以指导身份，向学生介绍方法，并提供讨论和反馈的机会。该学生已与以色列首席教授伊萨克·鲁宾斯坦 (Isaak Rubinstein) 通信，并将在国外与他和他的团队一起工作一个月。鲁宾斯坦小组在离子交换膜附近的电扩散和电对流的理论方法方面拥有专业知识。 就更广泛的影响而言，这项工作提供的机会对于改善学生所在机构的纳米科学与工程研究和教育基础设施非常有价值。 除了帮助研究生培训之外，该活动还将提供开发集成微流体样品浓缩器所必需的基础知识。这种设备对于涉及复杂化学和生化分析（例如远程环境中的蛋白质组学、基因组学或化学分析）的应用将是有益的。海水淡化等环境应用和电渗析等生物医学应用（依赖于通过纳米多孔膜的动电传输）也可能受益于这项工作。
