Symposium on Defects and Strain Potential Enabled Emergent Behavior in 2-D Materials; Materials Research Society Fall Meeting; Boston, MA; Nov 28-Dec 3, 2021

该基金为10名学生提供注册、旅行和/或托儿支持，让他们参加并出席2021年11月28日至12月3日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的材料研究学会秋季会议的研讨会，该研讨会讨论二维材料中的缺陷和应变势使能的紧急行为。研讨会将集中在二维材料中由于机械应变和缺陷工程而产生的行为的力学。获奖者将根据申请选出，包括一份简短的简历，一份他们为什么想参加会议的声明，以及会议摘要。虽然遴选将向所有群体开放，但将特别鼓励代表性不足群体的成员申请。该奖项将通过教育熟练和多样化的工程劳动力，更好地准备提供变革性的解决方案，解决他们所选择的领域的挑战，从而使国家受益。这种参与支持预计将有利于学生的专业、科学和技术发展，因为他们向更广泛的机械和材料科学界介绍他们的研究项目。参加更广泛的会议还将为学生提供一个机会，了解更广泛领域的工程专业和最先进的研究。学生将有机会参加技术演示，参加主旨和全体会议，并与潜在的导师、同事和雇主建立网络。这种互动体验将大大拓宽他们的教育范围，提高他们对研究主题的热情，让他们熟悉对科学职业的期望，并使他们接触到创新研究的新途径。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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 grant provides registration, travel, and/or childcare support for 10 students to attend and present at the Symposium on Defects and Strain Potential Enabled Emergent Behavior in Two-Dimensional Materials, being held as part of the Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting in Boston, MA, November 28th – December 3rd, 2021. The symposium will focus on the mechanics of emergent behavior in two-dimensional materials due to mechanical straining and defect engineering. The awardees will be selected based on application including a brief resume, a statement of why they want to attend the conference, and conference abstract. While the selection will be open to all groups, members of underrepresented groups will be especially encouraged to apply. This award will benefit the nation through the education of a skilled and diverse engineering workforce better prepared to provide transformative solutions the challenges of their chosen fields. This participation support is expected to benefit students' professional, scientific, and technical development as they present their research projects to the broader mechanics and material science community. Attendance at the wider conference will also provide the students an opportunity to learn about the engineering profession and state-of-the-art research in the wider fields. Students will have an opportunity to attend technical presentations, join the keynote and plenary sessions, and network with potential mentors, colleagues, and employers. This interactive experience will significantly broaden their education, increase their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaint them with expectations for scientific careers, and expose them to new avenues for innovative research.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.
