Workshop on the Materials Genome Initiative, and the Synergy Between Computation and Experiment

该奖项支持一个关于材料基因组计划的研讨会。该研讨会将于2012年12月在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的国家科学基金会举行。材料基因组计划有望彻底改变材料科学和工程的实践方式。许多领域都将从这一举措中受益，但为了产生持久的影响，材料研究界必须确定明确的发展机会和引人注目的研究领域。研讨会将集中讨论计算和实验研究之间的协同作用。研讨会将汇集实验、计算和理论科学家和工程师，目的是确定这样的机会。这个研讨会补充了过去与MGI相关的主要集中在计算方面的研讨会。本工作坊包括计算与实验的相互作用，以及在材料研究如何完成的更广泛背景下的其他重要方面。研讨会涵盖的研究领域涵盖材料科学和工程的广泛领域，从半导体到聚合物系统。演讲者候选人是根据他们的专业知识、视野和他们在材料研究中的影响力精心挑选的。还将邀请其他与会者参加讲习班，以便提供一个具有包容性和代表性的讨论论坛。讲习班的主要成果将是一份报告，该报告将在整个科学界广泛传播。

SUMMARYThis award supports a workshop on the Materials Genome Initiative. The workshop will be held at NSF in Arlington, VA in December, 2012. The Materials Genome Initiative promises to revolutionize the way in materials science and engineering is practiced. Many areas stand to benefit from this initiative, but in order to have a long lasting impact it is important for the materials research community to identify clear opportunities for development and compelling areas of research. The workshop will focus on the synergy between computational and experimental research. The workshop will bring together experimental, computational, and theoretical scientists and engineers with the goal of identifying such opportunities. This workshop complements past workshops related to MGI which largely centered on computational aspects. This workshop includes the interaction of computation with experiment and other important aspects in the broader context of how materials research is done.The areas of research to be covered in the workshop span a wide spectrum of materials science and engineering, ranging from semiconductors to polymeric systems. The candidate speakers have been carefully selected on the basis of their expertise, vision, and the influence that they have exerted in materials research. Additional participants for the workshop will also be invited in order to provide a forum for discussion that is inclusive and representative of the materials community at large. The key outcome of the workshop will be a report that will be widely disseminated throughout the scientific community.
