2013 Professional Development Workshop in Ceramics

非技术描述：2013年陶瓷专业发展研讨会的目标是提高和加强美国下一代陶瓷材料研究和教育领导者的职业发展。最近获得美国国家科学基金会材料研究部陶瓷项目职业生涯资助的五名早期职业教师是研讨会活动的主要焦点。他们将与来自国内和国际科学界的15位具有陶瓷材料专业知识的资深同事和同行一起沉浸在为期一天半的技术和专业发展研讨会中。所有参与者之间的互动会影响早期职业教师吗？在各自的研究领域，允许交流培训和教学学生的最佳实践，并促进在全球范围内建立新的合作或合作研究机会。研讨会将在国际先进纳米材料会议（ICANM 2013）期间举行，并向所有注册人开放。将研讨会与国际会议结合起来，将吸引更多的听众，特别是助理教授和博士后助理，从而扩大其影响，增加早期职业教师的知名度，在某些情况下，还可能减少总体旅行时间和成本。技术细节：2013年陶瓷专业发展研讨会主要关注五位早期职业教师提出的技术主题：1)双相陶瓷界面引起的结构-性质关系；2)辐射与纳米陶瓷的相互作用；钙钛矿薄膜异质结构的电子特性；4)开发环保型压电材料；5)复合氧化物薄膜的热释电效应和电热效应的增强。本次研讨会面向2013年icann大会的所有与会者开放。一位刚入职不久的教师将以简短的口头陈述来主导其中一个主题，然后由该教师的专家小组进行问答。年代。专家们将通过提出建议、提出问题和提供积极的反馈，批判性地评估他/她的研究计划、职业发展和教育努力。随后将与听众进行进一步讨论。这个研讨会是系列的第三个；以前的参与者发现环境是积极的，评论对他们的科学和专业生涯有帮助。博士后助理和新助理教授发现这些研讨会既鼓舞人心又有用。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The goal of the 2013 Professional Development Workshop in Ceramics is to enhance and strengthen the career development of the next generation of U.S. leaders in ceramic materials research and education. Five early-career faculty who have recently been awarded NSF CAREER grants from the Ceramics Program in the Division of Materials Research are the main focus of the workshop activities. They will be immersed in one and a half day technical and professional development workshop along with fifteen senior colleagues and peers from both national and international scientific communities with expertise in ceramic materials. The interaction between all participants will impact the early-career faculty?s respective fields of research, allow exchange of best practices for training and teaching students, and facilitate the forging of new collaborative or cooperative research opportunities worldwide. The workshop takes place during the International Conference on Advanced & Nano Materials (ICANM 2013) and is open to all registrants. Placing the workshop in conjunction with an international conference will amplify its impact by bringing in a larger audience, in particular assistant professors and postdoctoral associates, increase the visibility of the early-career faculty, and may, in some cases, reduce overall travel time and cost.TECHNICAL DETAILS: The 2013 Professional Development Workshop in Ceramics focuses on five technical topics presented by each early-career faculty: 1) structure-property relationships arising from interfaces of bi-phase ceramics; 2) radiation interactions with nanoceramics; 3) electronic properties of perovskite thin films heterostructures; 4) development of environmentally-benign piezoelectric materials; and 5) enhancement of pyroelectric and electrocaloric effects in complex oxide thin films. The workshop is open to all ICANM 2013 conference attendees. An early-career faculty will lead one of the topics with a short oral presentation, followed by a question and answer period from a panel of experts in the faculty?s field. The experts will critically evaluate her/his research plans, career development, and education efforts by offering suggestions, asking questions, and providing positive feedback. Further discussion with the audience will follow. This workshop in the third in a series; previous participants have found the environment to be positive and the commentary to be helpful in their scientific and professional careers. Post-doctoral associates and new assistant professors have found the workshops to be both inspiring and useful.
