0224929 Thadhani该奖项支持教师，研究生，本科生和科学教师在日本，韩国，中国和香港的网站进行材料科学和工程的多学科领域的研究为期三年的合作国际研究经验计划。 该项目的首席研究员是亚特兰大格鲁吉亚理工学院的Naresh Thadhani。 每年将有五个教师/学生/教师团体参加。 教师将从亚特兰大地区的高中选出。 该计划将为学生提供机会，体验动手参与材料研究长达八个星期在夏季。 研究项目的设计方式将允许促进来自美国和东亚国家的教师之间的研究互动，同时确保每个团队成员除了获得国际研究经验外，还能获得特定的好处。 研究生将能够提高他们的论文工作的质量和/或范围，同时也学习成为导师。 本科生将获得什么是研究生研究的意义，并对他们最终可能感兴趣的研究领域的国际视野。 教师参与者将了解东亚国家的学士学位教育文化，并了解材料科学和工程领域。 该奖项是根据NSF的AWARE（美国劳动力和研究与教育）计划颁发的。 二十一世纪的挑战需要在科学和工程谁是受过广泛教育，并准备有效地促进需要一个多学科，团队和全球性的方法困难的技术问题的毕业生的新干部。 这个材料教育项目的基本主题是跨长度尺度的结构和性能相关性，对材料的使用者和开发人员都至关重要。 定量微观结构表征技术的最新发展，实时测试性能的方法，以及用于合成和加工材料的新方法，允许微观结构控制，提供了一个独特的机会，以成本有效地设计具有所需的电子，磁性，机械和光学性能的材料。 此外，计算机技术的进步使建模和模拟工艺条件成为可能，并允许预测和模拟与性能直接相关的结构。 参与者将进行各种材料及其应用的研究，重点是将材料特性与纳米，介观，微观和宏观长度尺度的结构联系起来并相互关联的共同主题。

0224929ThadhaniThis award supports a three-year collaborative international research experience program for faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students and science teachers to conduct research in the multi-disciplinary field of materials science and engineering at sites in Japan, Korea, China and Hong Kong. The principal investigator for the project is Naresh Thadhani at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Five faculty/student/teacher groups will be participating each year. The teachers will be selected from Atlanta area high schools. The program will provide the opportunity for students to experience hands-on participation in materials research for up to eight weeks during the summer months. The research projects will be designed in a manner that allows promotion of research interactions between faculty from both the U.S. and the East Asian countries while ensuring that there are specific benefits for each of the team members in addition to their gaining an international research experience. The graduate students will be able to enhance the quality and/or scope of their thesis work while also learning to be mentors. The undergraduate students will gain a sense of what graduate research is about, and an international perspective to the field of research that they may eventually become interested in. The teacher participants will become knowledgeable with the culture of baccalaureate education in East Asian countries and also learn about the field of materials science and engineering. This award is made under NSF's AWARE (American Workforce and Research and Education) program. The challenges of the twenty-first century require a new cadre of graduates in science and engineering who are broadly educated and are ready to effectively contribute to difficult technological problems requiring a multi-disciplinary, teamed, and global approach. This materials education project, with an underlying theme of structure and properties correlation across length scales, is of vital importance to users as well as developers of materials. Recent developments in quantitative microstructural characterization techniques, approaches for real-time testing of properties, and novel methods for synthesizing and processing materials, allowing microstructural control, provide a unique opportunity to cost-effectively design materials with desired electronic, magnetic, mechanical and optical properties. In addition advancements in computer technology make it possible to model and simulate process conditions and allow predictions and simulations of structures that are directly linked to properties. The participants will undertake studies of various materials and their applications, focusing on the common theme of linking and correlating material properties with structure across nano-, meso-, micro- and macro-length scales.
