NSERC CREATE-IRTG for the Alberta/TUM International Graduate School for Hybrid Functional Materials

为艾伯塔省/TUM国际混合功能材料研究生院(ATUMS)设立的NSERC Create-IRTG是艾伯塔省大学和门兴理工学院的国际培训合作伙伴关系。ATUMS的目的是培训年轻的精英科学家和工程师掌握基本的技术和非学科技能，使他们能够在改革和振兴加拿大经济的聚合物/材料部门中发挥关键作用。我们还将培养学员成为不断增长的材料科学领域的世界领先者。这一完全整合的国际培训计划还为学员提供了获得宝贵经验和全球视野的独特机会，这些经验和全球视野对他们的职业成功至关重要。现代社会正变得越来越依赖先进材料及其支持的技术。混合功能材料(HFM)是一种很大程度上尚未开发的资源；航空航天、汽车和医疗行业已经感受到了它们的一些革命性好处。就其性质而言，高频辐射监测的开发和实施需要广泛和跨学科的技能，目前和未来都需要训练有素的高频辐射监测专业人员。ATUMS项目将为学员提供满足这些快速增长的需求的技能，同时研究HFM在负责任的能源管理应用(如电池技术、改进的照明/LED、太阳能电池等)中的目标应用。

The NSERC CREATE-IRTG for the Alberta/TUM International Graduate School for Hybrid Functional Materials (ATUMS) is an international training partnership of the University of Alberta and the Technische Universität München. The purpose of ATUMS is to train young elite scientists and engineers in the essential technical and out-of-discipline skills that will enable them to play key roles in revolutionizing and revitalizing the polymer/materials sector of the Canadian economy. We will also equip trainees to become world leaders in the growing field of materials science. This fully integrated international training program also provides trainees with the unique opportunity to gain invaluable experience and global perspective crucial to their professional success. Modern society is becoming increasingly reliant upon advanced materials and the technology they support. Hybrid functional materials (HFMs) represent a largely untapped resource; some of their revolutionary benefits are already being felt in the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. By their very nature, the development and implementation of HFMs require a broad and interdisciplinary skill set and there is a present and future demand for highly trained HFM professionals. The ATUMS program will provide trainees with the skill sets to satisfy these rapidly emerging needs while investigating HFMs with targeted applications in responsible energy management application (e.g., battery technologies, improved lighting/LEDs, solar cells, etc.).
