Support for student travel to the 11th U.S. National Combustion Meeting, Pasadena, CA, March 24 - 27, 2019

该提案将部分支持参加2019年美国全国燃烧会议的学生的旅行和注册。参加技术会议的经验对学生非常有益。这些经验不仅有助于专业发展，还能激发他们在制定未来研究方向时的批判性思维。本次会议将于2019年3月24日至27日在南加州大学举行。这次会议是一次非常重要的全国性燃烧科学与工程会议。本次会议的演讲代表了美国燃烧领域最新的研究成果，会议通过全体会议演讲和口头演讲促进了燃烧研究成果的交流。由于其对能量转换、环境质量和气候影响的影响，了解燃烧过程和实际燃烧系统对社会至关重要。在会议上交流信息可以提高研究突破的速度，使燃烧更有效，更清洁，燃料灵活性更高。这次会议是学生燃烧研究人员与同行和该领域领导者交流思想和网络的理想场所。据估计，大约有50名美国学生将受益于NSF的支持。许多研讨会也将与会议一起举行，以提高学生的专业技能。该奖项将用于抵消非本地学生的差旅费，以提高学生在会议上的参与度，特别是来自代表性不足的机构的学生，这些机构可能没有足够的财政手段来完全支持学生参加会议。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 proposal is to partially support the travel and registration of students attending 2019 U.S. National Combustion Meeting. Experiences in attending technical conferences are extremely beneficial to students. These experiences will not only help with the professional development, but also stimulate their critical thinking in formulating future research directions. This meeting will be held in University of Southern California, March 24 - 27, 2019. This conference is a very important national conference on combustion science and engineering. Presentations in this conference represents the most updated research outcome in combustion in the U.S. The conference facilitates the exchange of combustion research results through plenary lectures and oral presentations. Due to its effect on energy conversion, environmental quality, and climate effects, understanding of combustion processes and practical combustion systems is of paramount importance to society. Exchange of information at conferences increases the rate at which research breakthroughs can be made to make combustion more efficient and cleaner with fuel-flexibility. This meeting is the ideal venue for student combustion researchers to exchange ideas and network with their peers and with leaders in the field. It is estimated that approximately 50 US-based students will benefit from this NSF support. Numerous workshops will also be held in conjunction with the conference to increase the professional skills of the students. This award will be used to offset the travel expenses of non-local students in an effort to increase student participation at the meeting, particularly students from underrepresented institutions that may not have the financial means to fully support student travel to conferences.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.
