U.S. Participation in the 2007 Canadian-American-Mexican Graduate Student Conference (CAM2007)

该奖项为美国物理学会(APS)组织和学生参加加拿大、美国和墨西哥物理学会研究生会议(CAM2007)提供支持，该会议将于2007年8月在加拿大蒙特利尔的麦吉尔大学举行。科学计划将包括著名的物理子学科的特邀教授的全体演讲，如天文学与天体物理学；原子、分子和光学物理；生物物理；凝聚态物理；以及核/粒子物理，然后是学生的贡献演讲，以补充全体会议的主题。CAM2007还将包括由杰出的年轻研究人员就物理学的未来进行的圆桌讨论。学生海报会议将完善该计划的科学部分。所有学生参与者将通过口头或海报形式介绍他们在研究生院所做的研究。通过将工作中的科学家和学生在非正式的环境中聚集在一起，会议还将使学生能够探索和讨论年轻物理学家可用的职业选择。通过特别的专题和技术会议，学生将有机会在自己的教室和研究实验室之外获得更广泛的物理视野。会议将促进学生参与者之间的科学交流，促进北美大陆青年科学家之间的国际合作，使研究生接触其个人研究领域以外的物理学分学科，并促进分学科内的跨学科研究。会议的组织工作是由学生进行的。总体而言，它将为美国的下一代研究人员提供出色的培训。

This award provides support to the American Physical Society (APS) for organization and student travel to participate in the joint Canadian, US, and Mexican physical societies' graduate student conference (CAM 2007), to be held in August 2007 at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. The scientific program will include plenary talks by well-known invited professors in physics sub-disciplines such as Astronomy & Astrophysics; Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics; Biophysics; Condensed Matter Physics; and Nuclear/Particle Physics, and followed by contributed talks from students to complement the plenary session topics. CAM2007 will also include a round table discussion on the future of physics from prominent younger researchers. A student poster session will round out the scientific portion of the program. All student participants will present, either through an oral or a poster contribution, the research they have performed in graduate school. By bringing together working scientists and students in an informal setting, the conference will also enable students to explore and discuss career options available to young physicists. Through special topical and technical sessions, students will have the opportunity to gain a broader view of physics beyond their own classrooms and research laboratories. The meeting will generate scientific exchange among them student participants, promote international collaborations among young scientists within the North American continent, expose graduate students to sub-disciplines in physics beyond their individual research areas, and promote interdisciplinary research within the sub-disciplines. The meeting's organization is carried out by the students. Overall, it will provide excellent training for next generation researchers in the U.S.
