POWRE: Research Enhancement at the University of British Columbia

该奖项的方案为妇女的职业机会， 研究和教育（POWRE）支持研究和教育 南伊利诺伊大学教授利亚奥布莱恩的活动， 爱德华兹维尔 研究重点是高分辨率分子 气相自由基光谱学，特别强调核 超精细分析和解释。 1997-98学年，工作 将在不列颠哥伦比亚省的大学，在国家 基特峰和伊利诺斯州南部的太阳观测设施 大学，与本科生和研究生合作。 的 研究的意义不仅在于获得 通过光谱分析获得的基本分子常数，而且 这些结果的解释，特别是当它们涉及到化学 键合和反应性。 通过POWRE计划提供的机会将提高教授 奥布莱恩的研究和领导潜力以及她的教育指导 在一所以本科为主的大学里。

This award of the program for Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) supports the research and educational activities of Professor Leah O'Brien of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. Research focusses on high resolution molecular spectroscopy of gas phase radicals, with particular emphasis on nuclear hyperfine analysis and interpretation. In academic year 1997-98, work will be conducted at the University of British Columbia, at the National Solar Observatory facility at Kitt Peak, and at Southern Illinois University, in concert with undergraduate and graduate students. The significance of the research is not only the acquisition of the fundamental molecular constants obtained by spectral analysis, but also interpretation of these results, particularly as they relate to chemical bonding and reactivities. The opportunity afforded through the POWRE program will enhance Professor O'Brien's research and leadership potential and her educational mentoring of students at a predominantly undergraduate university.
