76th Device Research Conference (DRC) to be held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, June 24 to 27, 2018

拟议的项目寻求资金支持，以增加演讲者的多样性，并加强学生参与2018年6月24日至27日在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校举行的会议。第76届器件研究大会(DRC)将集中讨论从半导体到有机、分子器件以及自旋和量子器件的各种器件。会议将邀请世界知名的先进设备研究人员作为特邀演讲者，他们的专业知识范围从设计、制造、表征和应用。除了技术讲座外，由世界知名专家提供的高度相关主题的短期课程将极大地提高会议对与会者的有用性。今年的课程将讨论基于传统冯·诺伊曼计算之外的体系结构的未来计算技术。该技术计划将为学生参与者提供接触新材料和设备、他们的基础物理以及他们的工程应用的机会。让下一代研究人员接触这些重要学科，对于保持STEM工人具备应对新出现的商业趋势所需的技能至关重要。信息将通过会议记录进行传播，会议记录将通过IEEEXPLE在线获得。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The proposed project seeks financial support for increasing the diversity of speakers and enhancing student participation at a Conference to be held from June 24 to 27, 2018 at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The "76th Device Research Conference (DRC)" will focus on a variety of devices ranging from semiconductors to organic, molecular devices, as well as spin and quantum devices. The Conference will host world-renowned researchers in advanced devices as invited speakers, whose expertise range from design, to fabrication characterization and applications. In addition to technical talks, short courses on highly relevant topics presented by renowned world experts will greatly enhance the usefulness of the conference to attendees. This year's course will be on future computing technologies based on architectures beyond traditional von Neumann computing. The technical program will provide student participants with the opportunity to gain exposure to new materials and devices, their basic physics, and their engineering applications. Exposing the next generation of researchers to these important disciplines is critical to maintain the supply of STEM workers with the skillsets necessary to address emerging commercial trends. The information will be disseminated through the conference proceedings which will be available online through the IEEEXplore.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.
