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

NSERC CREATE-IRTG为阿尔伯塔/TUM国际混合功能材料研究生院（ATUMS）提供的培训是阿尔伯塔大学和慕尼黑工业大学的国际培训合作伙伴关系。ATUMS的目的是培养年轻的精英科学家和工程师的基本技术和学科外的技能，使他们能够在革命和振兴加拿大经济的聚合物/材料部门发挥关键作用。我们还将使学员成为材料科学领域的世界领导者。这个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，这对他们的职业成功至关重要。 现代社会越来越依赖于先进的材料和它们所支持的技术。混合功能材料（HFM）是一种尚未开发的资源，其革命性的优势已经在航空航天，汽车和医疗行业中体现出来。就其本质而言，HFM的开发和实施需要广泛的跨学科技能，目前和未来都需要训练有素的HFM专业人员。ATUMS计划将为学员提供满足这些快速出现的需求的技能，同时调查HFM在负责任的能源管理应用中的目标应用（例如， 电池技术、改进的照明/LED、太阳能电池等）。

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.).
