Support for student travel to 55th International Conference on Electron Ionand Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication, Proposal 1137067This project, funded at $10,000, will help support the travel of 20 graduate students, fromuniversities around the USA, to attend the 55 th International Conference on Electron, Ionand Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication, 2011, to be held at the J. W. MarriottResort, Las Vegas, Nevada, May 31 to June 3, 2011. In the fields of nanofabrication,electron and ion-beam lithographies, photon and imprint lithographies, particle-beamoptics, and forefront applications of nanofabrication, this conference is preeminent. Therequested travel aid will enable students to present their research to a high levelinternational scientific community. They will observe how scientists and engineersexchange innovative ideas and other information at conferences, and they?ll hear firsthandpresentations of up-to-date research results in nanotechnology.Learning how a technical conference serves as a venue for conveying information toother is an important element of a student?s education. Also important is leaning how topresent, in a cogent and understandable way, the results of one?s research. The requestedsupport will help to accomplish these ends. At the conference, students will makeimportant personal contacts and learn of employment opportunities. At a special breakfastfor the funded students, the conference organizers will discuss optimal techniques forpresenting scientific information and how the conference program is put together.
