Support for the 21st International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering, June 13-16, 2010 in Philadelphia, PA

1006879 Sundaresan这笔赠款是为参加第21届国际化学反应工程研讨会(ISCRE 21)的美国机构的年轻研究人员(学生、博士后研究员和初级教员)提供部分支持。研讨会将于2010年6月13日至16日在美国宾夕法尼亚州费城举行。研讨会的主题是：“应对资源可持续性、环境和生命科学挑战”。顾问将被要求提名在其研究小组工作的学生和博士后研究人员；提名方案将包括推荐信和被提名者的简历。初级教员只需提交他们的简历即可。ISCRE 21科学委员会将对申请者进行评估，并选出将获得部分支持的候选人。智力价值：在保护环境的同时，以可持续的方式满足世界对能源、食品、水和药品的需求，需要开发新技术和先进材料。本次研讨会的主题是捕捉化学反应工程(CRE)在应对这些挑战中所发挥的重要作用。ISCRE 21将以CRE基本原理、使能技术以及催化剂、膜、可再生能源和太阳能和燃料电池等先进材料的最新研究为特色。化学反应工程国际研讨会每两年举行一次，将专门从事催化和反应工程的国际研究人员聚集在一起，通过反应工程创新为解决环境、能源、化学和制药问题做出贡献。ISCRE 21将包括关于当前主题的全体讲座、口头和海报演示，以及大量的个人讨论机会。会议记录将作为工业与工程化学研究(IECR)的特刊发表。参加这次研讨会有望激励年轻的研究人员，使他们接触到新的创新，并帮助他们综合新的想法，这对上述行业的进一步发展至关重要。更广泛的影响：CRE社区产生的知识是各行业和美国经济持续成功的核心。在过去的几年里，有一种感觉是，CRE社区一直在缩小，例如，相当少的初级教职员工就是明证。NSF对多达46名ICSRE参与者的支持将提供一个很好的工具，以增加年轻调查人员的出勤率，包括来自代表性不足群体的人，并继续CRE任务。为了产生更大的影响，《21世纪国际SCRE》将通过其网站和IECR专刊传播信息，其中包括已接受的文件和全体会议观点。

1006879SundaresanThis grant is for partial support of young researchers (students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty) from US institutions participating in the 21st International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering (ISCRE 21). The symposium will take place in Philadelphia, PA, USA, June 13-16, 2010. The theme of the symposium is: 'Addressing resource sustainability, environmental and life science challenges'. Advisors will be asked to nominate students and postdoctoral researchers working in their research groups; the nomination package will include a letter of recommendation and the CV of the nominee. Junior faculty members will simply submit their CVs. The ISCRE 21 scientific committee will evaluate the applicants and select the candidates who will receive some partial support. Intellectual Merit: Meeting the world's demands for energy, food, water and medicine in a sustainable way, while protecting the environment, requires development of new technologies and advanced materials. The theme of this symposium is to capture the essential role that chemical reaction engineering (CRE) plays in addressing these challenges. ISCRE 21 will feature communications of recent research on CRE fundamentals, enabling technologies, and advanced materials such as catalysts, membranes, renewables and, solar and fuel cells. The International Symposiums on Chemical Reaction Engineering, held every two years, bring the international community of researchers specializing in catalysis and reaction engineering together and contributes to solving environmental, energy, chemical and pharmaceutical problems through reaction engineering innovations. ISCRE 21 will include plenary lectures on current topics, oral and poster presentations, and plenty of opportunity for individual discussions. The proceedings will be published as a special issue of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research (IECR). Participation in this symposium will hopefully energize the young investigators, expose them to new innovations and help them synthesize new ideas, which are central to further developments in the above-mentioned industries. Broader Impact: The knowledge generated by the CRE community is central to the continuing success of various industries and the US economy. Over the past few years, there is the feeling that the CRE community has been shrinking, e.g., as evidenced by the rather small number of junior faculty. NSF support for up to 46 ICSRE participants will provide a great vehicle to increase attendance of young investigators including people from underrepresented groups and continue the CRE mission. For additional impact, ISCRE 21 will disseminate information through its web site and a dedicated IECR issue of accepted papers and plenary perspectives.
