Support of 15th Annual Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO 2018)

该提案是为学生在纳米科学会议（FNANO），雪鸟，犹他州从2018年4月16日至19日的基础会议的旅行支持。FNANO由国际纳米科学，计算和工程学会于2004年成立，作为对自组装各个方面感兴趣的广泛研究人员的场所，因为它与纳米科学和纳米技术有关。会议有12个主题，涵盖了不同类型的自组装架构和设备的最新工作，范围从纳米尺度到中尺度。方法论包括实验方法和理论方法。 会议涵盖传统学科，包括化学，生物化学，物理，计算机科学，数学和各种工程学科。重点是基础研究，而不是应用研究。 去年的会议吸引了189名注册与会者。 2018年第15届纳米科学基础会议将邀请杰出的纳米科学家进行演讲，并提供海报和开放讨论期，以加强与会者的互动，目标是在自组装领域创造充满活力的知识社区。该提案是在2018年纳米科学基础会议上为学生提供旅行支持。旅行支持将是开放的，并由所有学生（本科生、格拉德和博士后）平均分配，并提供接受的海报或演讲。该项目为参加会议的学生提供旅行支助，将对纳米科学、生物化学和化学产生重大的多学科影响，这些影响将得益于引入来自主流计算机科学的关键方法，如数学建模、软件工程、算法和模块化设计方法。

This proposal is for travel support for students at the Conference on The Foundations of Nanoscience meeting (FNANO), Snowbird, Utah from April 16-19, 2018. FNANO was established by the International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation, and Engineering in 2004 as a venue for the wide range of researchers interested in various aspects of self-assembly as it relates to nanoscience and nanotechnology. The meeting features 12 tracks covering recent work in different types of self-assembled architectures and devices, at scales ranging from nano-scale to meso-scale. Methodologies include both experimental as well as theoretical approaches. The conference spans traditional disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, and various engineering disciplines. The emphasis is on basic, rather than applied research. Last year's meeting attracted 189 registered participants. The 15th Conference on Foundations of Nanoscience in 2018 will have a mixture of invited talks by distinguished nanoscientists as well as contributed posters and open discussion periods to enhance attendee interaction with the goal of creating vibrant intellectual community in the area of self-assembly. This proposal is for travel support for students at the Conference on Foundations of Nanoscience in 2018. The travel support will be open and evenly divided among all students (undergrad, grad and Postdoc) giving accepted posters or talks. This project, for travel support for students at the Conference, will provide a substantial multidisciplinary impact to nanoscience, biochemistry and chemistry, which will profit from the introduction of key methodologies derived from mainstream computer science, such as mathematical modeling, software engineering, algorithms and modular design methodologies.
