Student Travel Support to Attend ISUILS14 on December 9-13, 2015, in Kauai, Hawaii

该奖项提供支持，让美国大学的学生参加第十四届超快强激光科学国际研讨会（ISUILS14），将于2015年12月9日至13日在考艾岛，夏威夷举行。该研讨会每五年在美国举行一次，为学生提供了展示他们的研究成果并与来自美国各地和更广泛的国际社会的高级科学家互动的机会。 通过这个奖项的学生的支持作出了重大贡献的教育和未来的科学家的培训。谁在这个子学科（原子，分子和光学物理学）的背景毕业的学生获得广泛的知识和技能，使他们能够在科学和技术的许多领域的进步作出贡献。本次研讨会的主题是今年特别强调的一个主题，因为有一些报告，如（1）国家研究理事会的“光学和光子学：我们国家的基本技术”，（2）国家科学技术理事会的“光学和光子学快速行动委员会：用光学和光子学建设更光明的未来”，以及（3）“光学和光子学：数学和物理科学中的变革性研究机会”，来自NSF数学和物理科学咨询委员会。2015年也是一个特殊的年份，因为2015年被联合国指定为国际光年。

This award provides support to allow students from U.S. universities to participate in the fourteenth meeting of the International Symposium on Ultrafast Intense Laser Science (ISUILS14), to be held on December 9-13, 2015, in Kauai, Hawaii. This Symposium is held in the United States one out of every five years, and offers an opportunity for students to present their research results and to interact with senior scientists from across the United States and the broader international community. The support of students through this award makes a substantial contribution to the education and training of future scientists. Students who graduate with a background in this subdiscipline (atomic, molecular, and optical physics) acquire a broad range of knowledge and skills that enable them to contribute to progress in many areas of science and technology. This Symposium is on a topic that is receiving particular emphasis this year because of a number of reports, such as (1) "Optics and Photonics: Essential Technologies for Our Nation," from the National Research Council, (2) "Fast-Track Action Committee on Optics and Photonics: Building a Brighter Future with Optics and Photonics," from the National Science and Technology Council, and (3) "Optics and Photonics: Transformative Research Opportunities in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences," from the NSF Mathematics and Physical Sciences Advisory Committee. It is also a special year for this topic because 2015 has been designated the International Year of Light by the United Nations.
