International Research Experience in Nanotechnology-NNIN and NIMS

ABSTRACTProposal没有。项目名称：TIWARI， SandipPI所在机构：康奈尔大学提案标题：纳米技术的国际研究经验nnin和nimi在三年的时间里，这个学生国际研究经验（IRES）项目与日本国家材料科学研究所（NIMS）合作，为学生提供了纳米技术的夏季国际研究经验。该项目建立在现有的国家纳米技术基础设施网络（NNIN）本科生研究经验项目的基础上，提供第二个夏季国际纳米技术研究经验。五名本科生将从前一个夏天NNIN REU项目的70名候选人中选出，确保他们拥有技能和知识的基础，在领先科学家的指导下，在先进的国际实验室中建立个性化的国际经验。学生将前往日本，在NIMS资深科学家的指导下进行为期九周的研究项目。回到美国后，他们将在NNIN REU会议上与与会人员分享他们的国际研究经验。入选的本科生将在NIMS的资深科学家的指导下，参与一项具有挑战性的纳米技术研究项目。项目将来自纳米技术的所有领域，包括电子和光学器件、电子和光学材料、微机械器件和结构、纳米材料和纳米生物技术。本科学生将被要求完成他们的项目，并为他们在NIMS的东道主研究小组做出实质性的科学贡献。该计划以为期数天的NNIN REU会议结束，参与者将有机会在美国国内的NNIN REU参与者中提高全球意识。该项目每年将邀请五名才华横溢、积极进取的本科生在世界领先的纳米技术研究中心之一——日本国家材料科学研究所进行暑期国际研究。学生们将在他们之前的纳米技术经验的基础上，进一步增加他们的纳米技术经验，同时培养一名全球科学家的技能。他们将在完成技术项目的同时学习在国际环境中工作和交流。他们将有机会在进行最先进研究的能力以及在国际研究环境中工作和互动的能力方面发展独立和自信。回国后，他们还将与在美国的同龄人交流自己的经验，进一步培养必要的沟通技巧，并传播这些经验。该项目旨在培养对纳米技术感兴趣的学生，培养具有全球意识的科学家和工程师所需的学术、研究和社交技能。提出了目标，以加强参与者的性别、种族/民族和制度多样性。

ABSTRACTProposal No.: 0727552PI Name: TIWARI, SandipPI's Institution: Cornell UniversityProposal Title: International Research Experience in Nanotechnology-NNIN and NIMSOver a three year period this International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program provides a summer international research experience for students in nanotechnology in partnership with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan. This program builds upon the existing National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) Research Experience for Undergraduates program by providing a second summer international nanotechnology research experience. Five undergraduate students will be selected from 70 candidates of the prior summer's NNIN REU program assuring that they have a foundation of skills and knowledge upon which to build an individualized international experience in an advanced international laboratory mentored by leading scientists. Students will travel to Japan to undertake a nine week research project under the direction of a senior scientist at NIMS. Upon return to the U.S. they will share their international research experience with the collected participants at the NNIN REU Convocation. The selected undergraduate students will each engage in a challenging nanotechnology research project at NIMS, under the guidance of a NIMS senior staff scientist. Projects will be drawn from all areas of nanotechnology, including electronic and optical devices, electronic and optical materials, micromechanical devices and structures, nanomaterials, and nanobiotechnology. The undergraduate students will be expected to complete their project and make a substantial scientific contribution to their host research group at NIMS. The program concludes with a multi-day NNIN REU Convocation in which the participants will have the opportunity to promote global awareness among U.S. domestic NNIN REU participants. This project will engage five talented and motivated undergraduates each year in a summer international research experience at one of the world's leading nanotechnology research centers, the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan. The students will build upon their prior experience in nanotechnology, adding further to their nanotechnology experience while developing the skills of a global scientist. They will learn to work and communicate in an international environment while completing a technical project. They will have the opportunity to develop independence and confidence both in their ability to do state of the art research and in their ability to work and interact in an international research setting. Upon their return, they will also communicate their experience to their peers in the U.S., further building essential communication skills and propagating the experience. This program is designed to build upon expressed interest in nanotechnology and develop the academic, research, and social skills necessary for the development of globally aware scientists and engineers. Goals have been presented, to enhance participant gender, race/ethnicity, and institutional diversity.
