Student Travel Assistance for the Symposium of 35 Years of Chemical Sensors in 215th ECS. To be held May 25-27, 2009 in San Francisco.

PI：Richard B.布朗机构：犹他州大学建议编号：0918175智力优点：会议专题讨论会的支持是要求为第215届电化学学会专题讨论会题为？化学传感器35年？将于2009年5月25日至27日在旧金山弗朗西斯科举行。该研讨会组织汇集了科学家和工程师，重点是电子，磁性和光子器件，这些器件能够为各种应用提供化学浓度。 研讨会旨在促进该领域的研究，提高学生对开发此类传感器的兴趣，并将更多的研究人员带到该领域。 所要求的支持将用于为在会议上提交论文的本科生、研究生和初级教师提供差旅津贴。 本次研讨会将集中讨论基于电子，磁性和光子器件以及有机半导体的化学传感器技术的各个方面。 研讨会将包括一系列相关主题，从材料到应用：传感材料，微/纳米加工，制造工艺，包装，以及这些结构和工艺在化学传感器，生物传感器，高阶传感阵列和化学分析小型化中的应用。 会议的总体愿景是通过汇集传感器技术各个方面的研究人员来刺激该领域的研究。 所有的旅行支持将给予美国公民，永久居民和美国国民，并考虑到人口和地理多样性。 化学传感器领域将需要大量新人的涌入，以便有足够的人力资源来开发和将该技术应用于能源，国家安全，医疗保健以及食品和水安全等关键应用。 研究生和本科生的参与，通过所要求的支持，将有助于促进年轻参与者融入这一领域。更广泛的影响：拟议的计划的更广泛的影响将涉及将学生从代表性不足的群体进入这一令人兴奋的跨学科领域。 将电、光和磁技术应用于传感器对学生很有吸引力，因为通过感知人体内部和我们生活的环境，可以为人类做明显的好事。 吸引新研究人员进入传感领域的一个很好的方法是让研究生和本科生参加由主要专业协会举办的技术会议。 除了技术接触，这种经验将提供与参与这一领域的广泛研究人员互动的机会。所要求的资金将使更广泛的学生参与会议。 如果所分配的资金并非全部用于支持提交论文的学生的旅行，则剩余资金将优先用于支持与传感器组一起工作的代表性不足的学生的旅行。会议将出版会议记录，供分发。 会议记录将为学生作者提供一个机会，出版他们目前的工作，以及为演示文稿提供一个技术档案。

PI: Richard B. BrownInstitution: University of Utah Proposal Number: 0918175Intellectual Merit: Conference symposium support is requested for the 215th Electrochemical Society Symposium titled ?35 Years of Chemical Sensors? to be held in San Francisco May 25-27, 2009. The symposium, organized to bring together scientists and engineers focused on electronic, magnetic and photonic devices which are able to transduce chemical concentrations for a wide variety of applications. The Symposium is intended to stimulate research in the field, to promote interest in the development of such sensors among students, and to bring more researchers to the field. The requested support will be used to provide travel stipends for undergraduate and graduate students and junior faculty who have papers being presented at the conference. This symposium will focus on all aspects of chemical sensor technology based-on electronic, magnetic and photonic devices and organic semiconductors. The Symposium will include an array of related topics ranging from materials to applications: sensing materials, micro/nano-machining, fabrication processes, packaging, and the application of these structures and processes to the miniaturization of chemical sensors, biosensors, higher order sensing arrays, and chemical analysis. The overall vision of the conference is to stimulate research in the area by bringing together researchers working in various aspects of sensor technology. All of the travel support will be given to US citizens, permanent residents and US nationals, with consideration to demographic and geographic diversity. The chemical sensor field will require an influx of new people in order to have sufficient human resources for development and application of the technology to critical applications such as energy, national security, health care, and food and water safety. The involvement of graduate and undergraduate students, enabled through the requested support, will help to foster the integration of young participants into this field.Broader Impact: The broader impact of the proposed program will involve bringing students from underrepresented groups into this exciting, interdisciplinary area. Applying electrical, optical and magnetic technologies to sensors appeals to students because of the obvious good that can be done for humanity through sensing both inside the body, and in the environment in which we live. An excellent way to draw new researchers into the sensing area is to involve graduate and undergraduate students in a technical conference run by a major professional society. In addition to technical exposure, this experience will provide the opportunity to interact with a broad range of researchers involved in this field. The requested funding will enable broader student participation in the conference. If the allocated funds are not all needed to support the travel of students presenting papers, the remaining funds will be used preferentially to support the travel of underrepresented students who are working with sensor groups. The conference will publish proceedings, to be distributed. The proceedings will provide an opportunity for student authors to publish their current work, as well as providing a technical archive for the presentations.
