Detector Virtual Workshop

由罗彻斯特理工学院（RIT）的Donald Figer博士领导的一个新的虚拟演讲者系列将致力于探测器的广泛应用，包括天体物理学，生物医学成像，地球系统科学，太阳能和量子信息。本系列的目标是通过传播知识、增加跨学科机会、加强学术界、工业界和政府之间的互动以及提供学生和专业培训机会，使未来的国家能力成为可能。一个由技术和学科专家组成的多机构委员会将根据演讲者提供支持系列目标的材料的能力，特别是连接广泛领域专家的能力来选择演讲者。这些演讲将通过流媒体音频/视频设施向全国各地的听众播放，并将录音和存档，以供日后公众使用。讲座将每月举行两次，RIT主办一次，演讲者？美国的家庭机构主办另一个。所有存档的演讲都可以通过一个简单的浏览器界面访问。本次活动的资金由美国国家科学基金会提供。美国天文科学部通过其先进技术和仪器项目。

A new virtual speaker series, led by Dr. Donald Figer from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), will be dedicated to the advancement of detectors for a broad range of applications, including astrophysics, biomedical imaging, Earth system science, solar energy, and quantum information. The objectives of this series are to enable future national capabilities by disseminating knowledge, increasing interdisciplinary opportunities, enhancing interactions between academia, industry, and government, and providing student and professional training opportunities.A multi-institutional committee of technology and discipline experts will select speakers based upon their ability to deliver material that supports the objectives of the series, especially the ability to connect experts from a broad range of fields. The talks will be delivered to audiences around the country through a streaming audio/video facility, and they will also be recorded and archived for later public use. The talks will be given twice per month, with RIT hosting one, and the speaker?s home institution hosting the other. All archived talks will be accessible through a simple browser interface. Funding for this activity is being provided by NSF?s Division of Astronomical Sciences through its Advanced Technologies and Instrumentation program.
