2016 Gordon Research Conference on Catalysis: From Theory to Commercialization

摘要（马歇尔，1624594）该提案要求资金部分支持注册费和旅费的早期职业科学家参加2016年戈登研究会议（GRC）催化将于2016年6月11日至17日在科尔比索耶学院，新伦敦，NH。会议的主题是催化：从理论到商业化，反映了需要化学，化学工程和材料科学基础知识的领域的多样性。会议将汇集不同的演讲者，促进催化思想的跨学科丰富，并通过促进年轻科学家，代表性不足的少数民族科学家和初级教师与该领域杰出的高级研究人员的互动来创造社区感。催化继续在改善人类生活质量方面发挥关键技术作用，减少人类活动对环境的不利影响，保障国家能源供应。催化剂对国家在制造业中的作用也有重大的经济影响。 2016年催化研究大会将延续传统，将来自世界各地的顶尖研究人员聚集在一起，讨论他们在催化领域的最新、最令人兴奋的工作以及该领域的未来发展方向。会议分为会议主题：石蜡升级，多相催化的有机物路线，模型催化剂系统，生物质原料的新催化剂，阐明催化机制，非传统催化剂载体，催化新材料和催化系统的表面化学。会议将利用各种科学家的广泛经验水平，探索表面科学和反应化学如何联合收割机创造新的催化材料，可用于工业，以节省能源，降低排放，并减少化学过程中的浪费。具体来说，2016年催化剂研究大会将强调催化剂合成、原位催化剂表征和催化反应建模等领域的前沿研究。催化GRC在促进研究人员在职业生涯早期阶段的发展方面发挥着重要作用。 在参与者与同事互动的各种机会中，2016年催化GRC将推出一项新举措，以增加催化领域的性别多样性。 为此，新的周一下午会议，题为“电源小时：致力于包容和科学女性的专业发展”，将为会议的女性成员提供一个论坛，讨论如何提高她们在催化领域的人数和效率。

Abstract (Marshall, 1624594)The proposal requests funds to partially support registration fees and travel expenses for the participation of early career scientists in the 2016 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Catalysis to be held June 11-17, 2016 at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH. The theme of the conference is Catalysis: From Theory to Commercialization, reflecting the diversity of the field which requires fundamental knowledge of chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science. The conference will bring together a diverse group of speakers, promote cross-disciplinary fertilization of ideas in catalysis, and create a sense of community by promoting interactions of young scientists, underrepresented minority scientists, and junior faculty with prominent senior investigators in the field.Catalysis continues to play a key technological role for improving the quality of human life, for reducing the adverse impact of human activities on the environment, and for securing the nation's energy supply. Catalysis also has a major economic impact on the nation's role in manufacturing. The 2016 GRC on Catalysis will continue the tradition of bringing together leading researchers from around the world to discuss their latest, most exciting work in catalysis and future directions for the field. The conference is organized into session topics on Paraffin Upgrading, Organometallic Routes to Heterogeneous Catalysis, Model Catalyst Systems, New Catalysts for Biomass Feedstocks, Elucidating Catalytic Mechanisms, Non-Traditional Catalyst Supports, New Materials for Catalysis, and Surface Chemistry of Catalytic Systems. The meeting will tap into the broad experience level of a wide variety of scientists to explore how surface science and reaction chemistry combine to create new catalytic materials that can be used by industry to save energy, lower emissions, and reduce waste in chemical processes. Specifically, the 2016 GRC in Catalysis will emphasize frontier research in the areas of catalyst synthesis, in situ catalyst characterization, and modeling of catalytic reactions. The Catalysis GRC plays an important role in enhancing the development of researchers in early stages of their careers. Among the various opportunities for participants to interact with colleagues, the 2016 Catalysis GRC will introduce a new initiative to increase gender diversity in the field of catalysis. To this end, a new Monday afternoon session, titled "Power Hour: Committed to inclusion and the professional development of women in science," will provide the female members of the conference with a forum to discuss how to improve both their numbers and effectiveness in the catalysis field.
