Group Travel to Attend 4th ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat & Mass Transfer International Conference

提案编号：1346700 PI：JAPONICA要求为美国研究人员前往参加将于2013年12月11日至14日在香港举行的ASME微/纳米尺度传热传质国际会议提供支持。这是一系列关于这一主题的国际会议中的第四次会议，前三次会议分别在台湾、中国和亚特兰大举行。会议为来自世界各地的学术和研究机构以及工业界的研究人员提供了一个很好的互动场所。会议将涵盖广泛的主题，从微流体，纳米流体和制造到诊断和应用。研究将包括这些小尺度的基本问题，以及它们在传热增强，生物医学系统，电子设备，材料加工，药物输送和诊断中的应用。重要的是，将这些不同领域的研究人员聚集在一起，为这一领域和相关领域的未来发展和应用交换意见。该提案要求提供差旅支持，以部分支付美国研究人员参加本次会议的差旅费。学生，博士后研究员，少数民族和妇女，在微/纳米运输的广泛领域，将有优先权。还将通过适度的财政支助来支付应邀发言者的费用。

Proposal Number:1346700PI: JaluriaSupport is requested for travel of U.S researchers to the ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat & Mass Transfer International Conference, that will be held in Hong Kong, on December 11-14, 2013. This is the fourth conference in a series of international conferences held on this topic, the last three being held in Taiwan, China and Atlanta. The conference provides an excellent venue for interaction with researchers from academic and research institutions, as well as from industry, around the world.A wide range of topics will be covered, ranging from microfluidics, nanofluids and manufacturing to diagnostics and applications. Research presented will include both fundamental issues at these small scales, and their applications in heat transfer enhancement, biomedical systems, electronic devices, materials processing, drug delivery, and diagnostics. It is important to bring researchers in these diverse fields together to exchange ideas for future growth and application in this and related areas.The proposal is requesting travel support to partially defray the travel of researchers from USA to attend this conference. Students, post-doctoral fellows, minorities and women, in the broad area of micro/nanoscale transport, will have priority. Invited speakers will also be covered through modest financial support.
