Student Travel to International Conference on Electron, Ion, and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication, 2023

该奖项支持学生出席第66届国际会议电子，离子和光子束技术和纳米纤维;旧金山弗朗西斯科，加州; 2023年5月30日至6月2日。EIPBN会议是世界上首屈一指的光刻和纳米加工会议，吸引了来自学术界，工业界和政府实验室的参与者和演讲者。该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孵化突破性和变革性的想法。这一国际会议是将基础科学与工程学联系起来的关键机制，有助于开发对美国和世界经济具有重要意义的有用的纳米产品。本次会议为新的和以前未发表的科学研究和思想的公开交流提供了一个论坛。该奖项将部分支持本科生和研究生的参与，以培养下一代纳米技术和纳米制造研究人员，并扩大那些无法参加的学生的参与。EIPBN是一个重要的国际会议，将提供一个单一的论坛，讨论定向能合成，制造，成像，测量和表征纳米结构，器件和多尺度系统的最新发展。NSF的资金将用于资助大约36名学生，使学生可以参加短期课程，商业会议，技术项目和其他社会活动。也有一些关键的学生计划，包括与学术和行业领袖的职业指导会议，以及妇女在纳米纤维（WIN）午餐会，讨论纳米技术研究人员和科学家面临的多样性挑战。今年的计划还包括一个关于“CHIPS法案和美国半导体制造的未来”的会议范围的小组讨论，来自政府研究实验室，工业界和学术界的代表。 会议组织委员会将接触到代表性不足的群体，招募学生演讲者和参与者。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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。

This award supports the student attendance at the 66th International Conference on Electron, Ion, and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication; San Francisco, California; 30 May to 2 June 2023. The EIPBN meeting is the premier lithography and nanofabrication meeting in the world 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 This conference offers a forum for the open exchange of new and previously unpublished scientific research and ideas.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, 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, as well as Women in Nanofabrication (WIN) Luncheon to discuss diversity challenges faced by nanotechnology researchers and scientists. This year’s program also includes a conference-wide Panel Discussion on “The CHIPS Act and the Future of US Semiconductor Manufacturing” with representatives from government research lab, industry, and academia. The conference organization committee will reach out to 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.
