0938520 ElshallThe proposal is for support of an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) for US-Egypt on Nanomaterials and nanocatalysis for Energy, Petrochemicals and Environmental Applications, to be held in Cairo, Egypt, March 27-April 7, 2010. The collaborating scientists are Dr. Mostafa El-Sayed, at Georgia Institute of Technology and Dr. Hany el-Nazer, President, National Research Center (NRC) in Cairo. The ASI will focus on mixing the basic fundamental concepts of catalysis and surface science with the most recent advances and developments in the field of nanocatalysis and the new industrial and technological applications related to energy and environmental problems. The ASI will provide education and training for both U.S. and Egyptian advanced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Specifically it will: 1. bring 10 Professors and research leaders, 15 graduate students and 5 postdoctoral researchers from multi-disciplinary areas from the U.S. to participate with equal numbers of Egyptian graduate students and postdoctoral researchers over the 12-day ASI. Particular efforts will be directed to identify US members of minority groups to participate in this ASI. 2. make presentations to US and Egyptian students to learn a state-of-the-art, cutting edge important and exciting research dealing with the synthesis, characterization and applications of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials for innovative solutions to the energy, petrochemicals and environmental problems. 3. review the fundamental science dealing with nanoscale phenomena, have in-depth discussions on the utilization of state-of-the-art of technology in research and share information on new breakthroughs in nanocatalysis research for energy, petrochemicals and environmental applications 4. promote and stimulate collaboration in nanotechnology between American and Egyptian researchers with special attention paid to promoting women and African American researchers at the beginning of their careers in international collaboration in areas that have great impact on the World?s energy and environmental problems. 5. establish joint research projects between the participating US and Egyptian institutions, which could lead to economic developments involving the private sectors in Egypt and the US. The synergism produced by bringing together the US and Egyptian students and researchers in nanostructured materials and nanotechnology is expected to enhance the scientific collaboration between the two countries which will take this field a step closer in realizing its enormous potential for novel nanotechnologies. Intellectual Merit: The ASI deals with a current and important topic of research with applications in energy, petrochemicals and environmental. These are important, active areas of research, with many opportunities for increased fundamental understanding, and many important technological applications. The planned series of lectures will thoroughly cover the field. The expected participants are eminent in their fields. This project will enable new collaborations between the US and the Egyptian researchers in fields that could lead to significant scientific advances and discoveries related to energy and environmental problems. This is expected to enhance the scientific knowledge in these and other related fields, and it may lead to new exciting technologies. Broader Impacts: The ASI will lead to engaging US graduate students and postdoctoral researchers including underrepresented groups in the international scientific enterprise. It will allow students and scientists from the U.S. and Egypt to exchange their experiences, ideas, and information and to build collaborations to promote nanotechnology for the benefit of the public and private sectors. It is likely that there will be new collaborations amongst the PIs in Egypt and the US, with particular emphasis given to young minorities. There is strong possibility for young scientists to make international scientific connections early in their careers.

0938520 Elshall The The The The建议是为了支持一家高级研究所（ASI），用于纳米材料和纳米型纳米催化，用于能源，石化和环境应用，将于3月27日至4月7日在埃及开罗，2010年4月27日 - 2010年4月27日。开罗的国家研究中心（NRC）。 ASI将着重于将催化和表面科学的基本基本概念与纳米催化领域的最新进展和发展以及与能源和环境问题有关的新工业和技术应用。 ASI将为美国和埃及高级研究生和博士后研究人员提供教育和培训。具体而言，它将：1。带10名来自美国多学科领域的教授和研究领袖，15名研究生和5名博士后研究人员，在为期12天的ASI中，与埃及研究生和博士后研究人员相同。将指示特定的努力来确定少数群体的美国成员参加此ASI。 2。向我们和埃及学生进行演讲，以学习纳米颗粒和纳米结构材料的合成，表征和应用，以实现能源，石化和环境问题的创新解决方案的综合，表征和应用。 3。回顾与纳米级现象的基础科学，对在研究中使用最先进的技术的利用进行了深入讨论，并分享有关纳米催化研究的新突破的信息，对能源，石化化学，环境应用和环境应用4。在对世界的能源和环境问题产生重大影响的地区的国际合作。 5。建立参与美国和埃及机构之间的联合研究项目，这可能导致涉及埃及和美国私营部门的经济发展。 通过将纳米结构材料和纳米技术的美国和埃及学生和研究人员汇集在一起​​而产生的协同作用有望增强两国之间的科学合作，这将使这一领域在实现其新型纳米技术的巨大潜力方面走得更远。知识分子的优点：ASI介绍了当前和重要的研究主题，并在能源，石化和环境中应用。 这些都是重要的，积极的研究领域，有许多基本理解的机会以及许多重要的技术应用。 计划的一系列讲座将彻底覆盖该领域。预期的参与者在他们的领域中是杰出的。该项目将使美国与埃及研究人员之间的新合作在领域，这可能导致与能源和环境问题有关的重大科学进步和发现。预计这将增强这些和其他相关领域的科学知识，并可能导致新的令人兴奋的技术。更广泛的影响：ASI将导致美国的研究生和博士后研究人员在国际科学企业中包括代表性不足的群体。它将允许来自美国和埃及的学生和科学家交换他们的经验，想法和信息，并建立合作以促进纳米技术，以造福公共部门和私营部门。埃及和美国的PI之间可能会有新的合作，特别强调了年轻的少数群体。 年轻科学家在职业生涯的早期就建立国际科学联系的可能性很大。
