Career Development Workshop and Forum: Spring Technical Meeting of the Eastern States Section of the Combustion Institute, Columbia, SC - March 8-11, 2020

这一奖励是为了部分资助研究生和本科生参加燃烧研究所东方州分会2020年春季技术会议的旅费。这次会议将在南卡罗来纳大学举行，是美国东海岸地区学术界、工业界和政府的燃烧研究人员的聚会。会议的技术计划包括一系列全体讲座、口头陈述、青年教职员工/学生研讨会和信息社交聚会。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学生的专业发展，还将激发他们在制定未来研究方向时的批判性思维。由于它对能源转换和环境质量的影响，对燃烧过程和实际燃烧系统的了解对社会来说是至关重要的。在会议上交换信息提高了研究突破的速度，以使燃烧更高效、更清洁，燃料更灵活。这次会议的一个特别焦点是研究生和本科生，为这些学生提供了一个展示和获得他们研究反馈的机会。这项奖励将用于抵消非本地学生的旅费，以努力增加学生参与会议的人数，特别是来自可能没有足够财力支持学生参加会议和工作场所的机构的学生。这项奖励反映了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。

This award is to partially support the travel expenses of graduate and undergraduate students in attending the 2020 Spring Technical Meeting of the Eastern States Section of the Combustion Institute. This conference, to be held at the University of South Carolina, is a gathering of combustion researchers in academia, industry, and government from the East Coast region of the United States. The technical program of the conference consists of a series of plenary lectures, contributed oral presentations, workshops for young faculty/students, and information social gatherings. Experiences in attending technical conferences are extremely beneficial to students. These experiences will not only help with the students' professional development, but also stimulate their critical thinking in formulating future research directions. Because of its effect on energy conversion and environmental quality, the 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. A particular focus of this conference is on graduate and undergraduate students by providing an opportunity for these students to present and get feedback on their research. 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 and workshops.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.
