Support for Student Participation in the 64th International Conference on Electron, Ion, and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication; New Orleans, Louisiana; May 26-29, 2020

该奖项用于资助参加2020年5月26日至29日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行的电子、离子和光子束技术与纳米制造国际会议(EIPBN)的学生。EIPBN会议是一次重要的年度光刻和纳米制造会议，吸引了来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的与会者和演讲者。这个论坛有助于在包括纳米技术和纳米制造在内的许多科学领域产生和孕育突破性和变革性的想法。这次国际会议是将基础科学与工程学联系起来，开发有用的纳米产品的关键机制，这些产品对美国和世界经济都具有重要意义。这次会议为公开交流新的和以前未发表的科学研究和思想提供了一个论坛。这一奖项将部分支持本科生和研究生的参与，培训纳米技术和纳米制造方面的下一代研究人员，并扩大原本无法参加的学生的参与。EIPBN是一个重要的国际会议，将提供一个单一论坛，讨论纳米结构、多层设备和多尺度系统的定向能合成、制造、成像、测量和表征方面的最新发展。NSF的资金将用于资助大约36名学生，以便学生可以参加短期课程、商业会议、技术项目和其他社交活动。还有一些重要的学生项目，包括与学术界和行业领袖的职业指导会议，与组织委员会的学生早餐，以及讨论纳米技术研究人员和科学家面临的多样性挑战的女性纳米制造(WIN)午餐会。会议组织委员会将联系当地大学和代表性不足的团体，招募学生推荐人和参与者。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 the student attendance at the International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN) to be held May 26 to 29, 2020, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The EIPBN meeting is an important annual lithography and nanofabrication gathering and attracts participants and presenters from academia, industry, and government laboratories. This forum is instrumental in the generation and incubation of breakthrough and transformative ideas in many scientific areas including nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing. This international conference is a key mechanism for linking basic science with engineering towards the development of useful nano-enabled products, which are significant to the US and world economies. This conference offers a forum for the open exchange of new and previously unpublished scientific research and ideas. This award will partially support the participation of undergraduate and graduate students, to train the next generation of researchers in nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing and to broaden participation by students who would otherwise not be able to attend. EIPBN is a major international meeting and will provide a single forum for discussion of the latest developments in directed energy-enabled synthesis, fabrication, imaging, measurement and characterization of nanoscale structures, multi-layered devices and multi-scale systems. NSF funding will be used to support about 36 students financially so that students may participate in short courses, the commercial session, the technical program, and other social events. There are also a number of key student programs, including a Career Mentoring Session with academic and industry leaders, Student Breakfast with the organization committee, and Women in Nanofabrication (WIN) Luncheon to discuss diversity challenges faced by nanotechnology researchers and scientists. The conference organization committee will reach out to local universities and underrepresented groups to recruit student presenters and 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.
