Conference: Support for Student Participation at the 16th International Conference on Mid-infrared Optoelectronics: Materials and Devices

第16届中红外光电子学国际会议：材料与器件将通过提供一个突出的国际论坛，将先驱者、专家、初级研究人员和学生聚集在一起，进行互动和交流思想，从而推动这一领域的知识发展。技术计划的主题包括材料生长、红外器件技术、带间和子带间物理和建模、基于新材料和低维结构的新型结构、非线性技术、太赫兹材料和器件、红外光电系统以及红外光电器件的应用。技术计划将整合口头会议，海报展示和社交活动，为从世界领导人到学生研究人员的各级研究人员之间的讨论和互动提供了无数机会。会议将通过推进几个工程重大挑战所需的材料和设备的开发来造福社会，包括用于家庭和土地安全的红外发射器和探测器，污染检测，信息和通信技术以及可持续能源转换。该会议将促进发现和理解，同时促进教学，培训和学习，通过汇集学生和研究人员与广泛的专业领域，重点关注红外材料和这些材料所实现的新设备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是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的支持。

The 16th International Conference on Mid-infrared Optoelectronics: Materials and Devices willadvance the state of knowledge in this area by providing a prominent international forum forbringing together pioneers, experts, junior researchers, and students to interact and exchange ideas.The topics of the technical program include materials growth, infrared device technology,interband and intersubband physics and modeling, novel architectures based on new materials andlow-dimensional structures, non-linear technologies, THz materials and devices, infraredoptoelectronic systems, and applications of infrared optoelectronic devices. The technical programwill integrate oral sessions, poster presentations, and social activities, in a way that providesnumerous opportunities for discussion and interaction between researchers at all levels, from worldleaders to student researchers.The conference will benefit society by advancing the development of materials and devices neededfor several engineering grand challenges, including infrared emitters and detectors for homelandsecurity, pollution detection, information and communication technology, and sustainable energyconversion. The conference will advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching,training, and learning by bringing together students and researchers with broad areas of expertise to focus oninfrared materials and the novel devices enabled by these materials.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.
