2017 Professional Development Workshop in Ceramics

非技术DESCRIPITON：2017年陶瓷专业发展研讨会的目标是促进下一代未来陶瓷材料研究和教育领导者的职业发展。研讨会的重点是最近从材料研究部陶瓷项目获得NSF职业资助的七名早期教师，但研讨会的活动对所有参与者来说都是有价值的，因为他们希望扩大研讨会的规模和范围。研讨会还向其他职业生涯早期的教师以及感兴趣的博士后同事、有教师意识的高级研究生和更多有兴趣指导下一代的高级教师开放。该活动是一个为期两天的密集研讨会，将2015年和2016年的两名职业获奖者与来自他们选择的技术专业的美国和国际专家小组聚集在一起，在一个论坛上促进专业讨论、指导和网络活动。小组的直接反馈将影响早期职业教师的研究和培训；更广泛地交流培训和教学的最佳做法，以及形成新的合作研究机会和指导关系，将使所有参与者受益。这些成果应该提供一个强大的支持基础，帮助职业获奖者在他们选择的领域成功地成为杰出的研究人员和教育工作者，并将有助于加强更广泛的陶瓷材料研究社区。技术细节：2017年陶瓷专业发展研讨会重点介绍了七个将由七位参赛职业获奖者介绍的技术主题：1)通过先进的原位表征技术多尺度可视化电化学反应2)用于充电电池的纳米结构和缺陷驱动的电极材料，3)缺陷和界面对移动铁电磁区壁上的影响，4)Li7La3Zr2O12电解液的核-壳纳米线结构，5)可用作电池正极或负极的双功能材料，6)通过跨多个长度和时间尺度的基础反应研究低CO2水泥，以及7)低价替代以控制激光陶瓷中掺杂离子的价态。各自的早期职业教师和他们所属的陶瓷材料研究子专业的技术专家正在领导科学讨论，目的是批判性地评估研究计划、职业发展和教育努力。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPITON: The goal of the 2017 Professional Development Workshop in Ceramics is to enhance the career development of the next generation of future leaders in ceramic materials research and education. The workshop focuses on seven early-career faculty who have recently been awarded NSF CAREER grants from the Ceramics Program in the Division of Materials Research, but the workshop activities have been structured to be of value to all participants as there is a desire to increase the scale and scope of this workshop over prior versions. The workshop is also open to other early-career faculty as well as interested post-doctoral associates, faculty-minded senior graduate students, and more senior faculty interested in mentoring the next generation. The activity is an intensive two-day workshop that brings together the two 2015 and five 2016 CAREER awardees with targeted panels of US-based and international experts from their chosen technical specialties in a forum that promotes professional discussions, mentoring and networking activities. The direct panel feedback will impact the research and training of the early career faculty; the broader exchange of best practices for training and teaching as well as the forging of new collaborative research opportunities and mentoring relationships will benefit all participants. These outcomes should provide a strong base of support that helps the CAREER awardees succeed in becoming outstanding researchers and educators in their chosen fields and will help to strengthen the broader ceramic materials research community. TECHNICAL DETAILS: The 2017 Professional Development Workshop in Ceramics focuses on seven technical topics to be presented by the seven participating CAREER awardees: 1) Multiscale visualization of electrochemical reactions via advanced in situ characterization techniques 2) Nano-architechtured and defect-driven electrode materials for rechargeable batteries, 3) Defect and interface effects on moving ferroelectric domain walls, 4) Core-shell nanowire structures of Li7La3Zr2O12 electrolytes, 5) Bifunctional materials that can serve as either battery anode or cathode, 6) Low-CO2 cements via fundamental reaction studies across multiple length and time scales, and 7) Off-valence substitution for valence control of dopant ions in laser ceramics. The respective early career faculty and the technical experts in their sub-specialties of ceramic materials research are leading the scientific discussions for the purpose of critically evaluating research plans, career development, and education efforts.
