This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award supports the establishment of a unique multidisciplinary graduate training program in Nanophotonics at Rice University. Nanophotonics is a rapidly emerging field of nanoscale science and engineering based on generating, controlling and manipulating light at nanoscale dimensions. Nanophotonics spans the traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, electrical and bioengineering with the promise of important technological advances in industries ranging from electronics and magnetic recording to biomedicine and homeland security. This program builds on the strong, multidisciplinary team of theorists and experimentalists in the Laboratory for Nanophotonics at Rice University. The cornerstones of this IGERT are state-of-the-art computational design and fabrication techniques for nanophotonic components, devices, and systems. The intellectual merit and major focus of this IGERT is graduate training in the design, fabrication, and use of nanoscale optical components compatible with living systems. Key program elements include a core curriculum for all trainees including research methodology and scientific ethics, the opportunity for dual advisors from different departments, internship options at industrial and national laboratories and a seminar series featuring internationally renowned visiting speakers in Nanophotonics. Braoder impacts of this program include extending Rice University's successful undergraduate recruitment program for Hispanic and other underrepresented minorities into the graduate study of Nanophotonics through a new, multiyear summer research program, The CONJUNTO Scholars & Mentors Program. The purpose of this training program is to create leaders in this field with the courage and vision to develop new research breakthroughs and invent new technologies by acquiring the professional and personal skills essential to achieving these goals. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

这项综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖支持赖斯大学在纳米光子学中建立独特的多学科研究生培训计划。 纳米光子学是基于纳米级维度生成，控制和操纵光的纳米级科学和工程的快速新兴领域。纳米原始学涵盖了物理，化学，电气和生物工程的传统学科，并有望在从电子和磁性记录到生物医学和国土安全的行业方面取得重要的技术进步。该计划建立在赖斯大学实验室中强大，多学科的理论家和实验家团队。这种Igert的基石是针对纳米光组件，设备和系统的最先进的计算设计和制造技术。该IGERT的智力优点和主要重点是与纳米级光学组件的设计，制造和使用与生活系统兼容的研究生培训。 关键课程要素包括针对所有学员的核心课程，包括研究方法和科学伦理学，来自不同部门的双重顾问的机会，工业和国家实验室的实习选择以及一个以国际著名的纳米动物来源来访者为特色的研讨会系列。 该计划的Braoder影响包括通过一项新的，多年来的夏季研究计划，Conjunto Scholars＆Mentors计划，将赖斯大学成功地为西班牙裔和其他代表性少数群体扩大了纳米素养学的研究生研究。 该培训计划的目的是通过勇气和愿景在这一领域创建领导者，以开发新的研究突破，并通过获得实现这些目标至关重要的专业和个人技能来发明新技术。 IGERT是一项旨在应对美国博士学位的挑战。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，所选学科的深刻知识以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该计划旨在通过在肥沃的环境中建立创新的研究生教育和培训的新模型来促进研究生教育的文化变化，以超越传统学科界限的合作研究。
