PROPOSAL NUMBER: 0742587PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Andrew ZydneyINSTITUTION: University of PennsylvaniaPROPOSAL TITLE: 2008 Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar on MembranesThis grant will provide support for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to attend and participate in the Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar to be held in conjunction with the Gordon Research Conference on Membranes: Materials and Processes on August 10-15, 2008. This will be the first Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar in membrane science and technology, and it will provide an opportunity for current graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to come together to discuss their research and share mutual experiences while at the same time building informal networks with peers that may lead to collaboration. The last few years have seen a tremendous growth in interest and activity in membrane science and technology, driven largely by advances in our ability to control and analyze complex structures at the nanoscale. In addition, critical societal needs in the areas of bioprocessing, energy, and the environment are providing exciting new opportunities for membrane technology. This includes the development of membrane electrodes for fuel cells, membrane separations for the purification of ethanol produced from cellulosic biomass, and membrane systems for carbon dioxide removal and sequestration. The Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar will have specific sessions on Membranes for Bioseparations and Biomedical Applications and Membranes for Energy Production and Storage, along with a more general session on membrane science and technology. The discussions among the graduate students and post-doctoral researchers will provide feedback on current research efforts, and they will enable the participants to develop new ideas for important research activities.Broader Impact:The opportunity for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to interact in aGordon Conference setting will have a positive impact on the personal and professional development of these young scientists. The informal networks that will be developed through these interactions will provide critical support for the students as they pursue their professional careers, including encouragement for young researchers interested in pursuing academic careers. Special efforts will be made to attract a diverse group of graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to the meeting, including individuals from the leading research groups in the United States and around the world.

提案编号：0742587 主要研究员：Andrew Zydney 机构：宾夕法尼亚大学提案名称：2008 年戈登-凯南膜研究生研究研讨会这笔赠款将为研究生和博士后研究人员出席和参加即将举行的戈登-凯南研究生研究研讨会提供支持与 8 月举行的戈登膜研究会议：材料与工艺相结合2008年10-15日。这将是首届膜科学与技术领域的戈登-凯南研究生研究研讨会，它将为在读研究生和博士后研究人员提供一个聚集在一起讨论他们的研究和分享相互经验的机会。同时与同行建立非正式网络，以促进合作。 过去几年，人们对膜科学和技术的兴趣和活动急剧增长，这主要是由于我们控制和分析纳米级复杂结构的能力的进步所推动的。此外，生物加工、能源和环境领域的关键社会需求为膜技术提供了令人兴奋的新机遇。这包括开发用于燃料电池的膜电极、用于纯化纤维素生物质生产的乙醇的膜分离以及用于二氧化碳去除和封存的膜系统。戈登-凯南研究生研究研讨会将举办有关生物分离和生物医学应用的膜以及用于能源生产和储存的膜的具体会议，以及有关膜科学和技术的更一般性的会议。研究生和博士后研究人员之间的讨论将为当前的研究工作提供反馈，并使参与者能够为重要的研究活动提出新的想法。更广泛的影响：研究生和博士后研究人员有机会在戈登会议的设置将对这些年轻科学家的个人和专业发展产生积极影响。通过这些互动建立的非正式网络将为学生追求职业生涯提供关键支持，包括鼓励有兴趣追求学术生涯的年轻研究人员。我们将特别努力吸引多元化的研究生和博士后研究人员参加会议，其中包括来自美国和世界各地领先研究小组的个人。
