1139170MalloukThis award will provide support for graduate student and postdoctoral research associate participation in the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels. The GRS and GRC will be held in Lucca, Italy on May 12-13, and May 13-18, 2012, respectively. Intellectual MeritThe GRS, which will be primarily attended by graduate students and post doctoral research associates, and the GRC, which features oral presentations by the leading scientists in the field, will bring together senior and junior researchers, including engineers, materials scientists, chemists, biologists, and physicists to explore the scientific advances needed to achieve efficient solar energy driven transformation of carbon-neutral sources to energy-dense molecules. This problem is of key importance in developing a sustainable energy economy, as solar fuels may have the potential to provide a sustainable supply of transportation and aviation fuel from domestic, renewable resources. The GRS program will feature oral and poster presentations accompanied by informal and formal discussions with a small number of attendees (60 participants). The presentations will be divided into three sessions, in which the most important aspects of the solar fuel research will be addressed. The first session will be devoted to the light capture and charge transfer in solid-state and biological/ biomimetic systems. The second session will be focused on materials and molecules that can catalyze reactions desirable for the development of solar fuel cells. The concluding session will handle homo/heterogeneous catalytic systems effective for solar fuel production. Approximately half of the GRS participants are expected to attend the GRC, where attendance will be capped at 200. The GRC program will include invited and contributed oral and poster presentations by both younger and more established researchers, focusing on the best emerging science in the field. The GRC will provide participants a state-of-the-art view of the interdisciplinary science of solar fuels, with eight topical sessions, two poster sessions, and one final session of late-breaking results and short talks drawn from the poster presentations.Broader Impacts The GRC and GRS will promote international collaboration in the science and engineering that underpins the development of a future solar fuels technology. This forum will also provide networking opportunities, mentoring, and perspectives on new research for younger participants at a critical stage in their scientific careers. The requested funds will be used to defray registration fee and/or travel costs of a diverse group of graduate student and postdoctoral participants in the GRC and GRS.

该奖项将为参加戈登研究会议(GRC)和戈登研究研讨会(GRS)的研究生和博士后提供支持：可再生能源：太阳能燃料。GRS和GRC将分别于2012年5月12日至13日和5月13日至18日在意大利卢卡举行。学术价值GRS将主要由研究生和博士后研究助理参加，GRC以该领域领先科学家的口头演讲为特色，将把包括工程师、材料科学家、化学家、生物学家和物理学家在内的高级和初级研究人员聚集在一起，探索实现高效太阳能驱动的碳中性来源向高能量密度分子转化所需的科学进步。这个问题对发展可持续能源经济至关重要，因为太阳能燃料可能有潜力从国内可再生资源中提供可持续的运输和航空燃料供应。GRS方案将以口头和海报演示为特色，并与少数与会者(60名参与者)进行非正式和正式讨论。演讲将分为三个会议，其中将讨论太阳能燃料研究的最重要方面。第一节将专门讨论固态和生物/仿生系统中的光捕获和电荷转移。第二场会议将集中讨论能够催化开发太阳能燃料电池所需反应的材料和分子。总结会议将讨论对太阳能燃料生产有效的同质/多相催化系统。预计约有一半的GRS参与者将参加GRC，出席人数上限为200人。GRC计划将包括由更年轻和更成熟的研究人员邀请和贡献的口头和海报演示，重点是该领域最好的新兴科学。GRC将为与会者提供太阳能燃料跨学科科学的最新视角，包括八个专题会议、两个海报会议和最后一个会议，其中包括最新成果和海报演示中的简短演讲。该论坛还将为处于科学生涯关键阶段的年轻参与者提供关于新研究的网络机会、指导和观点。申请的资金将用于支付GRC和GRS中不同的研究生和博士后参与者的注册费和/或旅费。
