Travel Grant Proposal for Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC) 2018

该奖项为来自美国机构的研究生提供旅行支持，他们是一篇或多篇被接受论文的合著者，参加2018年6月25日至28日在希腊卡拉马塔举行的2018年IEEE无线通信信号处理进展国际研讨会（SPAWC）并展示他们的工作。这是SPAWC系列的第19期研讨会，致力于无线通信、网络和信息理论的信号处理进展。拟议的研究生参与将对美国机构的无线通信研究的信号处理产生积极影响。研讨会将是一个很好的机会，让研究生了解新兴领域，并与世界各地的专家见面。更重要的是，学生们将获得新的想法，从而获得更强大和更完整的创业学习，并将他们的贡献放在国际层面正在进行的研究活动的角度。拟议的学生参与的更广泛影响将成为现实，因为这些学生加入美国劳动力将更好地定位于在不同工业部门的研究和开发活动中发挥带头作用，例如服务于无线通信、国土安全、国防和汽车工业的那些。全体会议和主题口头会议演讲者的性别多样性将激励女研究生继续留在无线通信信号处理领域并追求职业生涯。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力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 provides travel support for graduate students from US institutions, who are co- authors of one or more accepted papers, to participate and present their work at 2018 IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances for Wireless Communications (SPAWC), to be held in Kalamata Greece, June 25-28, 2018. This is the 19th workshop in the SPAWC series, and is devoted to advances in signal processing for wireless communications, networking, and information theory.The proposed graduate student participation is poised to have a positive impact on signal processing for wireless communications research in US institutions. The workshop will be a great opportunity for graduate students to learn about emerging areas, and meet with worldwide experts. More importantly, the students will gain new ideas leading to stronger and more complete entrepreneurial learning, and will put their contributions in perspective to ongoing research activities at the international level.The broader impact of the proposed student participation will materialize as these students joining the US workforce will be better positioned to spearhead research and development activities in diverse industrial sectors, such as those serving wireless communications, homeland security, defense, and the automotive industries. The gender diversity of the plenary and thematic oral session presenters will inspire female graduate students to remain and pursue careers in the field of signal processing for wireless communications.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.
