San Jose State/IBM Almaden Research Center-Analytical and Surface Chemistry of Materials

9300131 Pesek本科院校研究（RUI）项目由分析与表面化学项目资助，主要研究材料和表面的分析化学。在这项为期36个月的标准资助期间，佩塞克教授和他在圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）的同事将与IBM阿尔马登研究中心（IBM/ARC）的同行科学家一起开发一个独特的学术/工业研究和培训计划。该活动将汇集研究生，本科生，小型学院教师和高中教师参加由SJSU和IBM/ARC科学家共同指导的合作研究项目。每个项目的重点是表面和材料的化学和特性。每位参与者都将在上海州立大学和IBM/ARC的实验室工作，从而使他们能够获得学术和工业研究的视角，以及如何合作才能使两个组织受益。参加这种合作研究活动的人将对基础研究和应用研究有更深刻的认识，这将鼓励学生继续攻读更高的学位，小型大学教师将开始或更积极地在其本国机构开展项目，从而与学生分享研究和发现的兴奋，高中教师将激励更多的学生将科学作为一种职业。＊＊＊

9300131 Pesek This Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) project which is supported in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program focuses on the analytical chemistry of materials and surfaces. During the tenure of this thirty-six month standard grant, Professor Pesek and his colleagues at San Jose State University (SJSU) will join with their counterpart staff scientists at the IBM Almaden Research Center (IBM/ARC) to develop a unique academic/industrial research and training program. This activity will bring together graduate students, undergraduate students, small college faculty, and high school teachers to participate in cooperative research projects which are co-directed by SJSU and IBM/ARC scientists. The focus of each of the projects is the chemistry and characterization of surfaces and materials. Each of the participants will spend time working in laboratories both at SJSU and IBM/ARC, thereby enabling them to gain a perspective on academic as well as industrial research and how cooperation can work to the benefit of the two organizations. %%% Participants in this cooperative research activity are expected to gain an enhanced appreciation of basic and applied research which should encourage the students to continue on for advanced degrees, the small college faculty to begin or more actively pursue projects at their home institutions thereby sharing the excitement of research and discovery with their students, and the high school teachers to motivate more of their own students to consider science as a career. ***
