Workshop: Student support for 2017 Napa Microsystems Workshop. To Be Held in Napa, California, August, 21-23, 2017

拟议的项目寻求财政支持，以支持最多50名学生参加2017年纳帕微系统研讨会的会议注册费，该研讨会将于2017年8月21日至23日在加州纳帕举行。会议将汇集非互反系统、非线性系统、参数共振、光力学和计算微系统等主题的研究人员。研讨会的中心论点是，由于线性时不变和互易的基本假设，微机电传感器和执行器正在接近技术发展的饱和点。因此，对非线性、非互反和参数系统的研究对于克服当前面临的障碍是必要的。上述不同物理领域之间的思想交叉在开发新应用中起着至关重要的作用，例如，从光学和光力学中借鉴的概念可以激发微波、射频和声学系统的新功能。研讨会将为不同群体的研究生研究人员提供与研究界资深成员互动的机会，拓宽他们的科学视野，促进他们的职业发展。它将加强对支撑微/纳米传感器、致动器和微系统发展的科学的理解，并将促进包括生物工程、化学工程、机械工程、电气工程和化学在内的不同领域的研究人员之间的长期关系。研讨会的会议记录将以数字形式或会议记录摘要的形式分发给与会者

The proposed project seeks financial support to support the conference registration costs of up to 50 student participants of the 2017 Napa Microsystems Workshop, which will be held in Napa, CA on 21-23 August 2017. The meeting is to bring together researchers on the themes of non-reciprocal systems, nonlinear systems, parametric resonance, optomechanics, and microsystems for computing. The central thesis for the workshop is that micro-electro-mechanical sensors and actuators are approaching a saturation point in technology development due to the fundamental assumptions of linear time invariance and reciprocity. A study of non-linear, non-reciprocal, and parametric systems is therefore necessary to overcome currently faced barriers. The cross-pollination of ideas between the above described different physical domains plays a critical role in developing new applications, for example, borrowed concepts from optics and opto-mechanics can stimulate new capabilities in microwave, RF, and acoustic systems. The Workshop will provide opportunities for a diverse group of graduate student researchers to interact with senior members of the research community, broadening their scientific perspective and promoting their career development. It will enhance understanding of the science that underpins the development of micro/nanoscale sensors, actuators, and microsystems and will promote long-term relationships between researchers in diverse fields including bioengineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and chemistry. The will be Workshop proceedings that will be disseminated among the conference attendees either digitally or as a proceedings book of abstracts
