2017 Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors: Gordon Research Seminar (GRS)

该项目由Amar Flood教授领导，为国内研究生提供了参加2017年6月10日至11日在新罕布夏州霍尔德内斯学院举行的戈登研究研讨会(GRS)的机会。该项目旨在促进青年科学家在分子开关和电机领域的参与和合作。更好地从根本上理解如何控制分子长度尺度上的运动可能会影响其他领域，如药物输送、分子尺度电子学和机器人技术。美国国家科学基金会化学部的大分子、超分子和纳米化学计划和化学结构、动力学和机制B计划支持大约30名国内学生(包括女性和代表不足群体的成员)参加关于“人造分子开关和马达”的GRS。这一GRS旨在鼓励学生参与科学会议的讨论，为学生提供一个与同龄人建立非正式网络的环境，并建立终身工作关系。此外，学生有机会通过参与GRS的实施和规划来发展领导和组织技能。

This project, being led by Prof. Amar Flood, provides an opportunity for domestic graduate students to participate in a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on June 10-11, 2017 at Holderness College in New Hampshire. This project aims to promote the involvement and collaboration of young scientists in the field of molecular switches and motors. A better fundamental understanding on how to control the movement on molecular length-scales could impact other fields such as drug delivery, molecule-scale electronics, and robotics. The Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program and the Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms B Program of the NSF Division of Chemistry support the participation of about 30 domestic students (including women and members of underrepresented groups) in the GRS on "Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors". This GRS aims to encourage students to get involved in discussions in scientific meetings, to provide an environment for students to establish informal networks with their peers, and to forge life-long working relationships. In addition, students have the opportunity to develop leadership and organization skills through the involvement in the implementation and planning of the GRS.
