NSF Student Travel Grant for Sixteenth Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO 2019)

该奖项支持10 - 20名参与者参加2019年4月在犹他州雪鸟举行的纳米科学基础会议的学生旅行。第16届纳米科学基础会议将有杰出演讲者的特邀演讲以及贡献的海报和开放讨论期的混合物，以加强与会者的互动，目标是在自组装领域创造充满活力的知识社区。该项目将为纳米科学、生物化学和化学提供实质性的多学科影响，这将得益于引入来自主流计算机科学的关键方法，如数学建模、软件工程、算法和模块化设计方法。在2004年，作为对自组装的各个方面感兴趣的广泛研究人员的场所，因为它涉及到计算机科学，纳米科学和纳米技术。会议的特点是多个轨道涵盖了最近的工作在不同类型的自组装架构和设备，在尺度范围从纳米尺度到中尺度。方法论包括实验方法和理论方法。会议涵盖传统学科，包括化学，生物化学，物理，计算机科学，数学和各种工程学科。重点是基础研究，而不是应用研究。FNANO 2019会议预计将吸引150名注册参与者。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 supports student travel for between 10 - 20 participants to the Conference on Foundations of Nanoscience, Snowbird, Utah in April 2019. The 16th Conference on Foundations of Nanoscience will have a mixture of invited talks by distinguished speakers as well as contributed posters and open discussion periods to enhance attendee interaction with the goal of creating vibrant intellectual community in the area of self-assembly. This project will provide a substantial multidisciplinary impact to nanoscience, biochemistry and chemistry, which will profit from the introduction of key methodologies derived from mainstream computer science, such as mathematical modeling, software engineering, algorithms and modular design methodologies.The Foundations of Nanoscience meeting (FNANO) was established by the International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation, and Engineering in 2004 as a venue for the wide range of researchers interested in various aspects of self-assembly as it relates to computer science, nanoscience and nanotechnology. The meeting features multiple tracks covering recent work in different types of self-assembled architectures and devices, at scales ranging from nano-scale to meso-scale. Methodologies include both experimental as well as theoretical approaches. The conference spans traditional disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, and various engineering disciplines. The emphasis is on basic, rather than applied research. The FNANO 2019 meeting is projected to attract 150 registered participants.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.
