International Travel to Attend the Seventh International Conference on Nanostructured Materials; Wiesbaden, Germany; June 20-24, 2004

授予约翰霍普金斯大学的这一奖项为将于2004年6月20-24日在德国威斯巴登举行的“第七届国际纳米结构材料会议(NANO.2004)”提供了支持。本届国际会议是一年两次的纳米技术和纳米材料创新学科会议。预计本次会议将包括与纳米有关的会议，内容包括机械性能和应用、光学性能、应用和光子效应、化学性能和应用、磁、电和电子属性和设备、生物启发概念和医学应用、纳米材料的机会和风险、建模和计算机模拟以及新的加工技术。通过这一奖项，马教授计划部分支持美国参与者的国际旅行，主要是学生、博士后候选人、初级教职员工和代表性不足的群体。这次会议的奖项由数学和物理科学局材料研究部和工程局共同资助，由国际和平协会和国际纳米结构材料委员会前任和现任主席组成的特设委员会成员选出。

This award to Johns Hopkins University provides support for the "Seventh International Conference on Nanostructured Materials (NANO.2004)" to be held on June 20-24, 2004 in Wiesbaden, Germany. This international conference is a biannual conference in the innovative discipline of nano-technology and nanomaterials. This conference is expected to feature nano-related sessions on mechanical properties and applications, optical properties, applications, and photonic effects, chemical properties and applications, magnetic, electric and electronic properties and devices, bio-inspired concepts and medical applications, chances and risks of nanomaterials, modeling and computer simulations, and novel processing techniques. With this award, Professor Ma plans to partly support the international travel of US participants, primarily students, postdoctoral candidates, junior faculty members and under-represented groups. The selection of awardees for travel support will be made by ad hoc committee members consisting of the PI and the past and present chairmen of the International Committee on Nanostructured Materials.This conference award is jointly funded by the Division of Materials Research in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the Directorate for Engineering.
