Detector Virtual Workshop

由罗切斯特理工学院（RIT）的Donald Figer博士领导的一个新的虚拟扬声器系列将致力于推进探测器的广泛应用，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。该系列的目标是通过传播知识，增加跨学科的机会，加强学术界，工业界和政府之间的互动，并提供学生和专业培训机会，使未来的国家能力。一个多机构的技术和学科专家委员会将根据他们提供支持该系列目标的材料的能力来选择演讲者，特别是能够连接来自广泛领域的专家。这些演讲将通过流媒体音频/视频设施提供给全国各地的观众，并将被录制和存档，供日后公众使用。讲座将每月举行两次，由RIT主办一次，演讲者是谁？的家庭机构托管另一个。 所有存档的会谈将通过一个简单的浏览器界面访问。 这项活动的资金是由NSF提供的？天文科学部通过其先进技术和仪器计划。

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.
