IEEE Conference; Plasma Science; June 3-5, 1996; Boston MA; ICOPS '96 Conference - Graduate Students and Young Researchers Support

提案编号： ECS-9632385主要研究者： 钟陈 该建议寻求NSF对会议的支持：“IEEE 1996年国际等离子体科学会议（ICOPS）”，该会议将于1996年6月3-5日在马萨诸塞州的波士顿举行。 NSF的资金将用于部分支持美国年轻科学家和研究生的旅行，住宿和注册费，如果他们无法参加会议。 今年我们增加了几项新的会议活动。一个企业管理小组将从工业角度讨论等离子体科学的机会。这个星期一晚上的会议，向所有与会者开放，将允许研究生们亲眼看到各个行业希望在未来几年从等离子体科学中获得什么。我们已经将技术会议类别的数量扩大到28个，分为7个超级会议类别，其中三个新的会议主题：惯性约束聚变，热等离子体处理和平板显示器。为提高对这些领域的兴趣，举办了关于“真空功率管的计算机模拟”和“空间等离子体测量-新技术和新工艺”的两次特别会议。周三下午将举行一次关于促进“先进照明研究”的会议;来自政府和行业的代表将讨论新的研究提案。这是一个特殊的吸引力，研究生参与研究，影响环境以及我们的美国能源政策。 有了这样多样化的计划，ICOPS '96展示了等离子体科学研究在关键领域的稳步扩展，这些领域有助于塑造国家的经济福祉和工业竞争力。全体会议强调了等离子体科学研究的最新进展以及过去和未来政府资助的作用。学生可以参加任何上述领域，这将提高和发展他们的研究和奖学金。 ===============

Proposal Number: ECS-9632385 Principal Investigator: Chung Chan This proposal seeks support from NSF for the conference: "the IEEE 1996 International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS)" which will held in Boston, Massachusetts, June 3-5, 1996. Funds from NSF will be used to partially support costs of travel, accommodations, and registration fees of young American scientists and graduate students in cases where their attendance at the meeting would not otherwise be possible. We have added several new conference activities this year. A corporate management panel will discuss opportunities in plasma science from an industrial perspective. This Monday evening session, open to all attendees, will allow graduate students to see for themselves what various industries hope to get from plasma science in the next several years. We have expanded the number of technical session categories to twenty-eight, grouped under seven super-session categories, with three new session topics: inertial confinement fusion, thermal plasma processing, and flat panel displays. Two special sessions on "Computer Simulation of Vacuum Power Tubes" and "Space Plasma Measurements - New Techniques and Technology" have been introduced to promote interest in these areas. An afternoon meeting on stimulating "Advanced Lighting Research" will take place on Wednesday; representatives from government and industries will discuss new research proposals. This is a special attraction for graduate students to participate in research that impacts the environment as well as our US energy policies. With such diverse programs, ICOPS '96 showcases a steady expansion of plasma science research into critical areas that help shape the nation's economic well being and industrial competitiveness. The plenary sessions highlight recent advances in plasma science research as well as the role of past and future government funding. Students may participate in any of the above mentioned areas which will enhance and develop their rese arch and scholarship. ===============
