Support for Student Participation at 65th International Conference on Electron, Ion, and Photon Beam Technology & Nanofabrication; New Orleans, Louisiana; May 31 - June 3, 2022

该奖项支持学生参加2022年5月31日至6月3日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行的电子、离子和光子束技术与纳米制造国际会议(EIPBN)。EIPBN会议是一次光刻和纳米制造会议，吸引了来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的与会者和演讲者。这个论坛有助于在包括纳米技术和纳米制造在内的许多科学领域产生和孵化突破性和变革性的想法。这次国际会议有助于将基础科学与工程学联系起来，开发有用的纳米产品，这对美国和世界经济都具有重要意义。这次会议为公开交流新的和以前未发表的科学研究和思想提供了一个论坛。这一奖项将部分支持本科生和研究生的参与，他们是将在会议上提交的论文的作者或共同作者。该奖项将有助于培训纳米技术和纳米制造方面的下一代研究人员，并扩大原本无法参加的学生的参与。EIPBN将提供一个论坛，讨论定向能使能合成、制造、成像、测量和表征纳米结构、多层设备和多尺度系统的最新发展。NSF的资金将用于资助大约36名学生，以便学生可以参加短期课程、商业会议、技术项目和其他活动。还有一些重要的学生项目，包括与学术界和行业领袖的职业指导会议，与组织委员会的学生早餐，以及讨论纳米技术研究人员和科学家面临的多样性挑战的女性纳米制造(WIN)午餐会。会议组织委员会将联系当地大学和代表性不足的团体，以招募学生推荐人和参与者。这一奖项反映了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。

This award supports student attendance at the International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN) to be held May 31 to June 3, 2022, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The EIPBN meeting is a lithography and nanofabrication meeting which attracts participants and presenters from academia, industry, and government laboratories. This forum helps to generate and incubate breakthrough and transformative ideas in many scientific areas including nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing. This international conference helps link basic science with engineering towards the development of useful nano-enabled products, which are significant to the US and world economies. This conference offers a forum for the open exchange of new and previously-unpublished scientific research and ideas. This award will partially support the participation of undergraduate and graduate students who are authors or co-authors of papers to be presented at the conference. The award will help to train the next generation of researchers in nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing and to broaden participation by students who would otherwise not be able to attend. EIPBN will provide a forum for discussion of the latest developments in directed energy-enabled synthesis, fabrication, imaging, measurement and characterization of nanoscale structures, multi-layered devices and multi-scale systems. NSF funding will be used to support about 36 students financially so that students may participate in short courses, the commercial session, the technical program, and other events. There are also a number of key student programs, including a career mentoring session with academic and industry leaders, student breakfast with the organization committee, and Women in Nanofabrication (WIN) luncheon to discuss diversity challenges faced by nanotechnology researchers and scientists. The conference organization committee will reach out to local universities and to underrepresented groups to recruit student presenters and 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.
