NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute for FY 2012 in Taiwan

这项行动资助西北大学的亚历山大詹姆斯史密斯进行一项研究项目，题为“逐层冲压的解决方案处理的有机太阳能电池，”在2012年夏天在中央研究院在台北，台湾。 主持科学家为朱智伟。研究项目的学术价值是通过使用与高通量制造工艺兼容的逐层冲压技术来改善有机光致发光材料的加工条件。EAPSI奖学金的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验;介绍各自所在地的科学，科学政策和科学基础设施;以及社会，文化和语言的方向。 这些活动符合NSF的目标，即在科学家，工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保具有全球意识的美国科学工作者。

This action funds Alexander James Smith of Northwestern University to conduct a research project, entitled "Layer-by-layer stamping of solution-processed organic solar cells," during the summer of 2012 at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan. The host scientist is Chih-Wei Chu.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is to improve the processing conditions of organic photovoltaics through the use of layer-by-layer stamping techniques that are compatible with high-throughput manufacturing processes.Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.
