IRES: International US-China Student Research Program in Advanced Materials

摘要本项目是美国南佛罗里达大学（USF）的学生与中国北京科技大学（USTB）的学生和研究人员进行先进材料相关研究的国际合作项目。为期12周，学生团队将学习材料科学的高级方面，特别是专注于薄膜和纳米结构，断裂和腐蚀。他们将由USTB的三位教授庞晓璐、高克伟和乔立杰以及首席研究员沿着指导。美国学生将在三个夏天中的每个夏天前往北京三个月。在国际访问之前，将向南佛罗里达大学的学生提供材料表征方面的培训，以确保他们做出有意义的贡献，并拥有令人兴奋的国际研究经验。将鼓励学生在期刊上发表他们的科学成果。还将鼓励学生通过向不同的受众介绍来传播和分享他们的经验。作为该项目的成果，将编制先进的材料，并将出版研究结果，并通过介绍传播。 学生将形成专业网络。总体而言，该项目将有助于培养新一代受过多学科和国际技能培训的研究人员。

AbstractThis project focuses on an international collaboration between US students from the University of South Florida (USF) and students and researchers from the University of Science and Technology of Beijing (USTB) China to conduct research related to Advanced Materials. For twelve weeks, the teams of students will study advanced aspects of Materials Science, specifically focusing on thin films and nanostructures, fracture and corrosion. They will be supervised by three professors at USTB, Xiaolu Pang, Kewei Gao and Lijie Qiao, along with the Principal Investigator. US students will travel to Beijing for three months each of three summers. Training in materials characterization will be provided to students from USF prior to the international visit to ensure that they make meaningful contributions and have a stimulating international research experience. Students will be encouraged to publish their scientific results in journals. Students will also be encouraged to disseminate and share their experience through presentations to diverse audiences. As a result of this project, advanced materials will be developed and the results of the research will be published and disseminated through presentations. Students will form professional networks. Overall, this project will contribute to the development of a new generation of researchers trained with multidisciplinary and international skills.
