NSF Student Travel Grant for Sixteenth Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO 2019)

该奖项支持参加2019年4月在犹他州雪鸟举行的纳米科学基础会议的10-20名与会者的学生旅费。第16届纳米科学基础会议将由杰出的发言者作特邀演讲，并提供海报和开放讨论时段，以加强与会者的互动，目标是在自我组装领域创造充满活力的知识界。该项目将对纳米科学、生物化学和化学产生重大的多学科影响，这将得益于从主流计算机科学衍生的关键方法的引入，如数学建模、软件工程、算法和模块化设计方法。国际纳米科学、计算和工程学会于2004年建立了纳米科学会议(FNANO)，作为与计算机科学、纳米科学和纳米技术相关的对自组装的各个方面感兴趣的广泛研究人员的场所。会议以多个轨道为特色，涵盖不同类型的自组装架构和设备的最新工作，规模从纳米级到介观级。方法论包括实验方法和理论方法。这次会议跨越了化学、生物化学、物理、计算机科学、数学和各种工程学科等传统学科。重点是基础研究，而不是应用研究。FNANO 2019年会议预计将吸引150名注册参与者。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports student travel for between 10 - 20 participants to the Conference on Foundations of Nanoscience, Snowbird, Utah in April 2019. The 16th Conference on Foundations of Nanoscience will have a mixture of invited talks by distinguished speakers 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 project 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.The Foundations of Nanoscience meeting (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 computer science, nanoscience and nanotechnology. The meeting features multiple 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. The FNANO 2019 meeting is projected to attract 150 registered participants.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
