项目摘要

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has named Dr Jennifer Dionne one of the two 2019 recipients of its Alan T. Waterman Award. This award is NSF's highest honor that annually recognizes an outstanding researcher age 40 years or younger and funds his or her research in any field of science or engineering. This year's awardees will receive a $1 million grant over a five-year period for further advanced study in his or her field. Dr Dionne is a material science and engineering associate professor at Stanford University. Her research focuses on the development of new nano and optical materials for applications ranging from high-efficiency energy conversion and storage to bioimaging and manipulation. This research has led to demonstration of negative refraction at visible wavelengths, development of a subwavelength silicon electro-optic modulator, design of plasmonic optical tweezers for enantioselective sorting, demonstration of a metamaterial fluid, and synthesis of high-efficiency and active upconverting materials. Most recently, Jen has developed in situ techniques to visualize chemical transformations and light-matter interactions with nanometer-scale spatial resolution.Dr Dionne has received awards and recognition from a diverse group of technical societies, including the Adolph Lomb Medal (2016), a Sloan Fellowship (2015), Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (2015), and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (2014), as well as the inaugural Kavli Nanoscience Early Career Lectureship from MRS (2013). She was also named one of Technology Review's TR35 - 35 international innovators under 35 tackling important problems in transformative ways (2011). In addition, she has received the Outstanding Young Alum award from Washington University in St. Louis (2012), the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation (2012), an Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Grant (2010), the Clauser Prize for best Caltech thesis (2009), and the Materials Research Society Gold Award for outstanding graduate student (2008). Jen has received several best paper awards at international conferences and holds patents on all-optical chiral resolution, upconverting materials, optical tweezers, nano-optical tomography, plasmonic modulators, and plasmonic display technologies. Her work also been featured in Nature, Science, and other major scientific journals, as well as on PBS and in Michio Kaku's book 'Physics of the Impossible'.Dr. Dionne perceives outreach as a critical component of her role as an educator, and is active both in the scientific and general communities.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.

国家科学基金会（NSF）将詹妮弗·迪昂（Jennifer Dionne）博士任命为其艾伦·T·沃特曼奖（Alan T. Waterman Award）的2019年两个获得者之一。该奖项是NSF的最高荣誉，每年都会认可40岁以下的杰出研究人员，并在任何科学或工程领域为他或她的研究提供资金。今年的获奖者将在五年内获得100万美元的赠款，以在其领域进行进一步的高级研究。 Dionne博士是斯坦福大学的材料科学和工程副教授。她的研究重点是开发新的纳米和光学材料，用于应用，从高效能量转换和存储到生物成像和操纵。这项研究导致了可见波长的负折射，开发了硅电气传感调节器，用于对映选择性分类的等离子光学镊子的设计，表现出非对材料的液体以及高效效率的合成和高效率和活跃的升温材料。 Most recently, Jen has developed in situ techniques to visualize chemical transformations and light-matter interactions with nanometer-scale spatial resolution.Dr Dionne has received awards and recognition from a diverse group of technical societies, including the Adolph Lomb Medal (2016), a Sloan Fellowship (2015), Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (2015), and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (2014),以及夫人夫人（2013年）的首届卡夫利纳米科学早期讲座。她还被评为技术评论的TR35-35国际创新者之一，35岁以下的国际创新者（2011年）解决了重要问题。此外，她还获得了圣路易斯华盛顿大学的杰出年轻明矾奖（2012年），《国家科学基金会的职业奖》（2012年），空军科学研究的年轻研究员Grant（2010），Clauser最佳CALTECH论文奖（2009年）和杰出研究生材料研究学会的材料研究学会奖（2008年）。詹恩（Jen）在国际会议上获得了几项最佳纸张奖项，并拥有全光学手性分辨率，向上转换材料，光学镊子，纳米光学断层扫描，等离激元调节剂和等离激子展示技术的专利。她的作品在自然，科学和其他主要科学期刊以及PBS和Michio Kaku的书《不可能的物理学》中也有特色。狄恩（Dionne）认为宣传是她作为教育工作者角色的关键组成部分，并且在科学和一般社区中都活跃。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的审查标准的评估来获得支持的。
