The Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) is an annual topical meeting of the American Physical Society sponsored under the auspices of the Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. It is the leading international conference in the science and technology of Low Temperature Plasmas (LTP) combined with collision physics (CP). The GEC combines aspects of atomic, molecular, and optical physics with low-temperature plasma physics, electric discharges, and plasma chemistry, as well as their technological applications. The conference has been the venue of the first presentations on world leading developments in investigations of LTP and CP topics including advanced combustion systems, lighting and lasers, plasma materials processing of relevance to the semiconductor and photovoltaics industry, and plasma application in biomedicine. The invited speakers represent the world's leading scientists in these fields. This award will pay partial travel support for 10 US PhD students to attend and present the results of their work at the 69th Annual GEC meeting to be hosted on October 10-14, 2016 by Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Germany. This meeting is expected to attract more than 600 plasma scientists, collision physicists, and engineers. This award will provide the opportunity for PhD students to establish peer to peer collaboration with researchers from around the world. The students will have the opportunity to observe first-hand the scientific and cultural diversity of the field, and establish what will hopefully be career long collaborations with their international counterparts. The GEC makes a special effort to support graduate students who are women and underrepresented minorities.

气体电子学会议（GEC）是由原子、分子和光学物理学部主办的美国物理学会年度专题会议。它是低温等离子体（LTP）与碰撞物理（CP）相结合的科学和技术的主要国际会议。GEC将原子、分子和光学物理与低温等离子体物理、放电和等离子体化学及其技术应用相结合。该会议首次介绍了LTP和CP领域的世界领先研究进展，包括先进燃烧系统、照明和激光、与半导体和光伏产业相关的等离子体材料加工以及等离子体在生物医学中的应用。受邀的演讲者代表了这些领域的世界顶尖科学家。该奖项将为10名美国博士生提供部分旅费，支持他们参加2016年10月10日至14日由德国波鸿鲁尔大学主办的第69届GEC年会并展示他们的工作成果。这次会议预计将吸引600多名等离子体科学家、碰撞物理学家和工程师。该奖项将为博士生提供与来自世界各地的研究人员建立点对点合作的机会。学生们将有机会亲自观察该领域的科学和文化多样性，并有望与国际同行建立长期的职业合作关系。GEC特别努力支持女性和代表性不足的少数民族的研究生。
