1111196LiangThis travel grant provides support for leading scientists, early-career faculty, and graduate students to participate discussions on thermal energy transfer for energy harvesting, at the Materials Research Society (MRS) annual spring meeting, San Francisco, CA in April 25-29, 2011. The symposium will bring researchers together from two communities, materials and thermal energy. The current needs in energy and waste heat recovery have challenged mechanical engineers and materials scientists in design of engineering components and fabrication of novel materials for heat transfer and energy harvesting. This symposium provides an opportunity for participants to discuss important issues in thermal energy transfer and materials development. The intellectual merit of this grant will provide a venue for examination of energy transfer, waster energy recovery, and needs for materials development. The broad impacts of the grant are in enabling the participation of students and early career scientists in the symposium, thereby providing the education and training opportunities for next generation scientists.

1111196Liang这笔旅行补助金为领先的科学家，早期职业教师和研究生提供支持，以参加2011年4月25日至29日在加利福尼亚州弗朗西斯科举行的材料研究学会（MRS）年度春季会议上关于热能转移的讨论。研讨会将汇集来自材料和热能两个社区的研究人员。目前对能源和废热回收的需求对机械工程师和材料科学家在工程部件的设计和用于传热和能量收集的新型材料的制造方面提出了挑战。本次研讨会为与会者提供了一个讨论热能传递和材料开发中重要问题的机会。这项赠款的智力价值将提供一个场所，检查能源转移，废能回收，并需要材料开发。赠款的广泛影响是使学生和早期职业科学家能够参加专题讨论会，从而为下一代科学家提供教育和培训机会。
