***9733554ThomasThis award is made as a part of the FY98 CAREER competition. The scientific component of the research focuses on the study of dust-particle transport in plasmas. The techniques of particle image velocimetry will be used to follow the motion of the particles. This marks the first time that this technique, which to date has been used on fluid systems, will be used to study dusty plasmas. The final years of the work will concentrate on the analysis of "crystals" in the plasma. The educational component of the activity involves the development of a competitive program that brings a high school student/teacher pair to work on a project in the PI's laboratory during each summer. This project would then be taken back to the high school during the subsequent academic year. At the same time the PI will serve as "science mentor" for the teacher's class during the school year.***

***9733554Thomas该奖项是 FY98 职业竞赛的一部分。 该研究的科学部分侧重于等离子体中尘埃粒子传输的研究。 粒子图像测速技术将用于跟踪粒子的运动。 这标志着这项迄今为止已用于流体系统的技术首次用于研究尘埃等离子体。 该工作的最后几年将集中于等离子体中“晶体”的分析。 该活动的教育部分包括开发一个竞争性项目，每年夏天让一对高中生/教师在 PI 的实验室开展一个项目。 该项目将在下一学年带回高中。 同时PI将在学年期间担任教师班级的“科学导师”。***
