Symposium on Defects and Strain Potential Enabled Emergent Behavior in 2-D Materials; Materials Research Society Fall Meeting; Boston, MA; Nov 28-Dec 3, 2021

该补助金提供注册，旅行和/或儿童保育支持10名学生出席并出席缺陷和应变潜力启用二维材料中的紧急行为研讨会，作为材料研究学会（MRS）秋季会议的一部分在波士顿举行，MA，11月28日-2021年12月3日。研讨会将集中在二维材料由于机械应变和缺陷工程的紧急行为的力学。获奖者将根据申请进行选择，包括简短的简历，他们为什么要参加会议的声明和会议摘要。虽然选择将向所有群体开放，但将特别鼓励代表性不足的群体的成员申请。该奖项将通过教育一支熟练和多样化的工程队伍，为他们所选择的领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案，使国家受益。这种参与支持预计将有利于学生的专业，科学和技术的发展，因为他们目前他们的研究项目，以更广泛的力学和材料科学界。参加更广泛的会议也将为学生提供一个机会，了解工程专业和国家的最先进的研究在更广泛的领域。学生将有机会参加技术演示，参加主题演讲和全体会议，并与潜在的导师，同事和雇主建立联系。这种互动的体验将大大拓宽他们的教育，提高他们对研究课题的热情，使他们了解对科学事业的期望，并使他们接触到创新研究的新途径。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

The grant provides registration, travel, and/or childcare support for 10 students to attend and present at the Symposium on Defects and Strain Potential Enabled Emergent Behavior in Two-Dimensional Materials, being held as part of the Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting in Boston, MA, November 28th – December 3rd, 2021. The symposium will focus on the mechanics of emergent behavior in two-dimensional materials due to mechanical straining and defect engineering. The awardees will be selected based on application including a brief resume, a statement of why they want to attend the conference, and conference abstract. While the selection will be open to all groups, members of underrepresented groups will be especially encouraged to apply. This award will benefit the nation through the education of a skilled and diverse engineering workforce better prepared to provide transformative solutions the challenges of their chosen fields. This participation support is expected to benefit students' professional, scientific, and technical development as they present their research projects to the broader mechanics and material science community. Attendance at the wider conference will also provide the students an opportunity to learn about the engineering profession and state-of-the-art research in the wider fields. Students will have an opportunity to attend technical presentations, join the keynote and plenary sessions, and network with potential mentors, colleagues, and employers. This interactive experience will significantly broaden their education, increase their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaint them with expectations for scientific careers, and expose them to new avenues for innovative research.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.
