2012 International Conference on 3D Materials Science; July 8 - 12, 2012; Seven Springs, PA

本提案要求提供资金，以部分支持2012年7月8日至12日在宾夕法尼亚州七泉市举行的2012年国际三维(3D)材料科学会议。本次专业会议由矿物、金属和材料学会(TMS)主办，会议的主要组织者亚历克西斯·刘易斯(美国海军研究实验室)、首席研究员乔治·斯潘诺斯(TMS)、共同组织者Marc de Graef(卡内基梅隆大学)、联合组织者Henning Poulsen(里索国家实验室和DTU)和联合组织者Jeff Simmons(美国空军研究实验室)。此外，还成立了一个国际咨询委员会(IAC)，其中包括来自11个不同国家的著名科学家，他们正在各自的国家努力推广这次会议。本次会议的组织者寻求为不断增长的3D材料科学界提供一个展示当前感兴趣和重要意义的主要论坛。会议的形式非常有利于学生、教师和专业研究人员之间的互动，并且在日程安排中提供了充足的时间，供与会者进行丰富的讨论。会议的一个重要组成部分将是学生海报会议。此外，会议计划的设计是为了最大限度地促进建模人员、计算和图像处理科学家以及实验者之间的互动。非技术说明本提案要求提供资金，以部分支持将于2012年7月8-12日在宾夕法尼亚州七泉市举行的2012年国际三维(3D)材料科学会议。会议的形式非常有利于学生、教师和专业研究人员之间的互动，并在日程安排中提供了充足的时间，供与会者进行丰富的讨论。会议的一个重要组成部分将是学生海报会议。此外，会议计划的设计是为了最大限度地促进建模人员、计算和图像处理科学家以及实验者之间的互动。

Technical descriptionThis proposal requests funding to partially support the 2012 International Conference on Three Dimensional (3D) Materials Science to be held July 8-12, 2012 in Seven Springs, PA. This specialty conference is organized by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), in collaboration with the lead conference organizer Alexis Lewis (US Naval Research Laboratory), the principal investigator (and co-organizer) George Spanos (TMS), co-organizer Marc De Graef (Carnegie Mellon University), co-organizer Henning Poulsen (Risoe National Laboratory and DTU), and co-organizer Jeff Simmons (US Air Force Research Laboratory). Additionally, an International Advisory Committee (IAC) has been assembled which includes notable scientists from eleven different countries who are working to promote the conference in their respective countries. The organizers of this conference seek to provide the premier forum for presentations of current interest and significance to the growing 3D materials science community.The format of the conference is highly conducive to interactions among students, faculty, and professional researchers, and ample time is provided in the schedule for rich discussions amongst the attendees. An important component of the conference will be the student poster session. Additionally, the conference program has been designed to maximize interaction among modelers, computational and image processing scientists, and experimentalists.
