The Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER) was founded thirteen years ago to make specialized computational methods for radio astronomy widely available. It has since become a community of hundreds of scientists and engineers worldwide and their methods have become ubiquitous throughout radio astronomy. CASPER has had such a broad impact in radio astronomy that its methods and tools underlie each of the top-ranked radio astronomy initiatives of the last decadal review.This project will support the CASPER Conference scheduled for 12-16 August 2019 at the Harvard College Observatory. The workshop will include five days of lectures, tutorials and hands-on exercises. This workshop will be run in collaboration with NSF supported PIRE summer school on astronomy techniques (OISE/1743747). This workshop will include a new technical focus on emerging Radio Frequency System on a Chip (RFSoC) applications. Students will have the opportunity to meet and interact with experienced researchers by being paired with "lab mentors." In addition to academic presentations, speakers from industry will be invited. These presentations give students an opportunity to network with potential employers outside of academia. Presentations from the conference will be made publicly available on the conference and CASPER websites. The conference will also feature a public lecture on radio astronomy, a poster session and several live demonstrations for the general public. Requested funds will offset costs of student registration, accommodation and travel.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.

天文信号处理和电子研究合作组织（CASPER）成立于13年前，旨在广泛提供射电天文学的专业计算方法。 它已经成为一个由全世界数百名科学家和工程师组成的社区，他们的方法在射电天文学中无处不在。CASPER在射电天文学领域产生了广泛的影响，其方法和工具是上一个十年回顾中每个顶级射电天文学倡议的基础。该项目将支持定于2019年8月12日至16日在哈佛学院天文台举行的CASPER会议。研讨会将包括五天的讲座，辅导和动手练习。该研讨会将与NSF支持的PIRE天文学技术暑期学校（OISE/1743747）合作。本次研讨会将包括一个新的技术重点，新兴的射频系统芯片（RFSoC）的应用。学生将有机会通过与“实验室导师”配对，与经验丰富的研究人员会面和互动。“除了学术演讲外，还将邀请工业界的演讲者。这些演示给学生一个机会，与学术界以外的潜在雇主网络。会议的发言将在会议和CASPER网站上公开提供。会议还将举行射电天文学公开讲座，海报会议和几个面向公众的现场演示。申请的资金将抵消学生注册、住宿和旅行的费用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
