The 2016 ACS (American Chemical Society) Renyi Zhang Symposium; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; August 21-25, 2016

这一努力是为了支持一个名为“2016年ACS张仁毅研讨会”的研讨会，以表彰来自德克萨斯农工大学大气科学和化学系的张仁毅教授在大气化学领域的开创性贡献。该研讨会将于2016年8月21日至25日举行，作为在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的第252届美国化学会全国会议暨博览会的一部分。本项目将为早期职业科学家提供旅费支持，包括本科生、研究生、博士后和非终身教职人员。张教授的研究活动在研究大气粒子的形成、生长和物理化学性质方面取得了若干突破性的发现。例如，张博士在《科学》杂志上发表的文章揭示，有机酸与硫酸形成强氢键配合物，减少成核所需的屏障，对全球气溶胶的产生有重大贡献。在其他重要的出版物中，张博士阐明了有机物在大气纳米颗粒生长中的基本化学作用。研讨会的主题包括：(a)研究大气气溶胶的形成、生长和物理化学性质，以及(b)评估大气气溶胶对气候和空气质量的影响。最佳学生演讲奖将在研讨会上颁发。

This effort is in support of a workshop entitled the "2016 ACS Renyi Zhang Symposium" to honor Professor Renyi Zhang from the Departments of Atmospheric Sciences and Chemistry at Texas A&M University for his seminal contributions to the field of atmospheric chemistry. The Symposium will be held 21-25 August 2016, as part of the 252nd American Chemical Society National Meeting & Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This project will provide travel support to the Symposium for early career scientists in several categories, i.e., undergraduate students, graduate students, post docs, and non-tenured faculty members.Dr. Zhang's research activities have produced several groundbreaking discoveries in the investigation of the formation, growth, and physical and chemical properties of atmospheric particles. For example, Dr. Zhang's Science publication revealed that organic acids form strongly hydrogen-bonded complexes with sulfuric acid and reduce the barrier required for nucleation, contributing significantly to global aerosol production. In other important publications Dr. Zhang elucidated the fundamental chemical role of organics in atmospheric nanoparticle growth. Symposium topics include: (a) the investigation of the formation, growth, and physical and chemical properties of atmospheric aerosols, and (b) the assessment of climate and air quality implications of atmospheric aerosols. Awards for Best Student Presentation will be made at the symposium.
