Conference Support for "Fourth International Conference on Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications.(EPD-2011) Oct 2-7, 2011 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Dickerson第四届电沉积：基础和应用国际会议(EPD-2011)将于2011年10月2-7日在墨西哥巴亚尔塔港举行。这次国际会议将有来自研究界不同部门的与会者参加，包括学术界、工业界和联邦政府机构。环境保护署2011年提供了一个丰富的氛围，以介绍和交流围绕着电泳沉积(EPD)及其相关科学和技术的进步的思想。这笔赠款将帮助年轻的、新兴的科学家和知名的研究人员从美国前往EPD-2011，在此期间，将对材料制造、先进技术和使用电泳沉积的创新进行探索和讨论。来自美国的科学家更多地参与这一快速发展的科学和工程领域，对于传播该领域的信息以及随后最终在美国培训具有国际竞争力的劳动力至关重要。环保署是继2002年、2005年及2008年举行的环保工作系列会议取得成功后，于2011年成立的。这些三年一度的电沉积(EPD)会议是学术界和工业界专家研究EPD及其作为制造传统和新(纳米)材料的加工技术的应用的主要场所。EPD-2011将解决该领域的前沿课题，如纳米结构材料、生物材料和固体氧化物燃料电池。EPD-2011将产生以下更广泛的影响：i.物理、电动力学、材料科学、化学和制造领域交叉领域知识的进步。ii.为年轻学者提供一个与经验丰富的研究专业人员互动的论坛。iii.发展应对EPD技术挑战的国际研究伙伴关系。IV.在这个迅速崛起的科学和工程领域，引入和发展初级教员、早期职业科学家和更成熟的知名学者群体之间的新伙伴关系，特别是那些来自代表不足的群体的学者。

1133640PI: DickersonThe Fourth International Conference on Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications (EPD-2011) will be held October 2-7, 2011 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This international meeting will involve participants from various sectors of the research community including academia, industry, and federal government agencies. EPD 2011 offers a rich atmosphere for the presentation and exchange of ideas centered on the advancement of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and its associated science and technology. This grant will help support the travel of young, emerging scientists and established eminent researchers from the United States to EPD-2011, during which explorations and discussions of materials fabrication, advanced techniques, and innovations using electrophoretic deposition will be conducted. The increased participation of scientists from the United States in this rapidly developing area of science and engineering is crucial to the dissemination of information about the field and the subsequent, eventual training of an internationally competitive workforce in the US. EPD 2011 follows from the success of the previous conferences of the series held in 2002, 2005 and 2008. These tri-annual Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) conferences are a leading venue for experts from academia and industry working on EPD and its application as a processing technique for fabrication of both traditional and new (nano-) materials. EPD-2011 will tackle topics at the forefront of the field such as nanostructured materials, biomaterials, and solid oxide fuel cells. EPD-2011 will result in the following broader impacts:I. The advancement of knowledge at the intersection of the fields of physics, electrokinetics,materials science, chemistry, and manufacturing.II. Providing a forum for young scholars to interact with seasoned research professionals.III. Developing international research partnerships that address technical challenges of EPD.IV. Introduce and develop new partnerships among groups of junior faculty, early career scientists, and more established, eminent scholars, particularly those from underrepresented groups, in this rapidly emerging area of science and engineering.
