Travel Support for student participation at the 2018 Electron Backscatter Diffraction Topical Conference

该奖项将支持学生参加由微分析学会赞助的密歇根大学电子背散射衍射（EBSD）会议。 EBSD是材料和地质科学界使用的核心微分析技术。 它利用高能电子的衍射来确定天然和工程材料中晶体的相类型和取向。EBSD在材料科学和地质学中发挥着重要作用，可以理解从结晶过程到变形机制，地震和粘性各向异性以及材料特性（如强度，断裂韧性和热导率）的一切。EBSD也正在成为数据科学领域的一部分，它具有重要的计算组件，不仅可以处理大量数据，还可以对数据的获取进行建模，并与材料行为模型进行接口。该奖项将支持来自不同背景的学生的参与，并将有助于扩大会议的参与。EBSD 2018的形式将遵循前五届EBSD会议的压倒性成功。第一天将为初学者提供全天的课堂和实践教程，或为有经验的用户提供更高级的教程，重点是先进的数据处理方法和数据科学，例如互相关EBSD，耦合晶体塑性建模，Matlab纹理分析和Dream3D平台。 与会者还将有机会看到所有主要EBSD供应商在UoM仪器上的EBSD现场演示。 在接下来的两天的研讨会上，将继续邀请演讲，讨论EBSD在地质变形机制、地质年代学和地球化学、金属制造、运输工业和能源研究中的应用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support student participation at a conference focused on Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) at the University of Michigan, under the sponsorship of the Microanalysis Society. EBSD is a core microanalytical technique used by both the materials and geological sciences communities. It utilizes the diffraction of high-energy electrons to determine phase types and orientations of crystals in natural and engineered materials. EBSD plays an important role in material science and geology for the understanding everything from crystallization processes to deformation mechanisms, seismic and viscous anisotropy and material properties (such as strength, fracture toughness, and thermal conductivity). EBSD is also becoming part of the data science realm, with a significant computing component to not only process large amounts of data but also model the acquisition of the data and interface with material behavior models. The award will support participation of students from diverse backgrounds, and will serve to broaden participation in the conference.The format for EBSD 2018 will follow that of the overwhelmingly successful previous five EBSD meetings. The first day will offer all-day classroom and hands-on tutorials for beginners or more advanced tutorials for experienced users, with a focus on advanced data processing methods and data science, e.g. cross correlation EBSD, coupling crystal plasticity modeling, Matlab Texture Analysis and Dream3D platform. Attendees will also have the opportunity to see live EBSD demonstrations by all the major EBSD vendors on UoM instruments. The next two days of the workshop will proceed with invited talks addressing EBSD applications in geological deformation mechanisms, geochronology, and fossilization, metals manufacturing, transportation industry, and energy research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
