NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute for FY 2012 in Taiwan

这项行动资助了美国西北大学的亚历山大·詹姆斯·史密斯（Alexander James Smith）于2012年夏天在台湾台北中央研究院开展一项名为“溶液加工有机太阳能电池的逐层冲压”的研究项目。主持的科学家是朱志伟。该研究项目的智力优势是通过使用与高通量制造工艺兼容的逐层冲压技术来改善有机光伏的加工条件。EAPSI奖学金的广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；介绍该地区的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施；以及对社会、文化和语言的了解。这些活动符合美国国家科学基金会的目标，即在其科学家、工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期培养国际合作，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。

This action funds Alexander James Smith of Northwestern University to conduct a research project, entitled "Layer-by-layer stamping of solution-processed organic solar cells," during the summer of 2012 at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan. The host scientist is Chih-Wei Chu.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is to improve the processing conditions of organic photovoltaics through the use of layer-by-layer stamping techniques that are compatible with high-throughput manufacturing processes.Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.
