U.S.-China Young Investigators Workshop on Emerging Trends in Mechanics and Processing, Beijing, China, August 1996

小行星9513073 该奖项支持美国参与中美双边研讨会，讨论机械和先进材料加工领域的基础研究问题和新兴技术。 美国的参与者将从申请人中选出，他们的博士学位在十年内。 研讨会的目的是为来自两国的年轻研究人员提供一个机会，交流思想，并在先进材料研究的重要领域建立合作研究的伙伴关系。 研讨会的主题是及时的和共同感兴趣的。先进材料领域对中国和美国都至关重要。 中国PI，北京清华大学的杨伟博士，获得了博士学位。他是布朗大学的一名教授，也是被评审期刊的定期撰稿人。 他于1994年被评为中国十大青年科学家之一，并在中国国内外保持着强大的研究合作。 NIST在1995年9月发表的一份关于中国材料研究的报告中，提出了一些改进材料科学合作的建议。 一个呼吁增加科学家之间的互动，以确定合作的研究机会。 这次研讨会应该是重要的第一步，让新的美国研究人员看到中国的研究项目，并确定合作将在哪里推进美国在材料科学方面的利益。 讲习班将于1996年8月在中国北京清华大学举行。 ***

9513073 Qu This award supports US participation in a bilateral US-China workshop on basic research issues and emerging technologies in the areas of mechanics and processing of advanced materials. US participants will be chosen from applicants within ten years of their Ph.D. The purpose of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for young investigators from the two countries to exchange ideas and develop partnerships for cooperative research in important areas of advanced materials research. The workshop topic is timely and of common interest. The area of advanced materials is critically important to both China and the US. The Chinese PI, Dr. Yang Wei of Tsinghua University, Beijing, earned a Ph.D. at Brown University and is a regular contributor to refereed journals. He was named one of China's top ten young scientists in 1994, and maintains strong research collaborations within and external to China. In a September 1995 report published by NIST on materials research in China, a number of recommendations for improving the cooperation in materials science were made. One calls for increased scientist to scientist interaction to define research opportunities for collaboratimn. This workshop should be an important first step in allowing new US investigators to see the research programs in China and to define where collaboration will advance US interests in materials science. The workshop will be held in August 1996 at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. ***
