This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The Partnership in Research and Education in Materials (PREM) at the City College of New York (CCNY) involves a collaboration with the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the University of Chicago. The PREM has two broad goals: to provide the highest quality research and education opportunities in material dynamics; and to use CCNY?s diverse and high-quality student body and research university status to drive permanent added participation of under-represented groups in materials science. The overarching goal of the research is to develop methodology for description of material dynamics. This work has potential for major impact in many fields. The CCNY-Chicago PREM combines strengths of CCNY in simulation and modeling with the Chicago expertise in experiments and theory to develop design principles for next-generation materials. The research focuses on the dynamics of two key areas, namely heterogeneous and particulate systems, in which the role of the dynamics in making new material will be explored. The team will investigate the following topics: 1) dynamics of droplets during impact, 2) novel assembly techniques using micron sized particles and bio-molecules, and 3) assemblies of colloidal and granular particles. The material formation processes in these systems are far from equilibrium, and for these conditions there is a need for numerical simulation techniques to provide insight to the phenomena occurring at the small scales (e.g. of the particles), and their relation to the overall mixture or system behavior. Such simulation results support development of models useful for engineering of materials synthesis processes. Developing the human resource base in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is vital to the mission of the PREM. The partnership will use the excitement intrinsic to the discovery process to recruit and train talented students at the high school, undergraduate and graduate, as well as post-doctoral levels. This will establish CCNY as a leader not only in the dynamics of heterogeneous and particulate systems, but also in the development of under-represented talent in STEM. To aid in accomplishing its goals, this partnership will seek guidance from an advisory committee with broad representation, including a high school principal, as well as academic and industrial leaders.

该奖项根据 2009 年《美国复苏和再投资法案》（公法 111-5）提供资金。纽约城市学院 (CCNY) 材料研究与教育合作伙伴关系 (PREM) 涉及与芝加哥大学材料研究科学与工程中心 (MRSEC) 的合作。 PREM 有两个广泛的目标：提供材料动力学方面最高质量的研究和教育机会；并利用 CCNY 多元化、高质量的学生群体和研究型大学的地位，推动材料科学领域代表性不足的群体的永久参与。该研究的总体目标是开发描述材料动力学的方法。这项工作有可能在许多领域产生重大影响。 CCNY-Chicago PREM 将 CCNY 在模拟和建模方面的优势与芝加哥在实验和理论方面的专业知识相结合，以开发下一代材料的设计原理。该研究重点关注两个关键领域的动力学，即异质系统和颗粒系统，其中将探讨动力学在制造新材料中的作用。该团队将研究以下主题：1）撞击过程中液滴的动力学，2）使用微米级颗粒和生物分子的新颖组装技术，以及3）胶体和颗粒颗粒的组装。这些系统中的材料形成过程远未达到平衡，对于这些条件，需要数值模拟技术来深入了解小尺度（例如颗粒）发生的现象，以及它们与整体混合物或混合物的关系。系统行为。这样的模拟结果支持可用于材料合成过程工程的模型的开发。发展科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 方面的人力资源基础对于 PREM 的使命至关重要。该合作伙伴关系将利用发现过程中固有的兴奋感来招募和培训高中、本科生、研究生以及博士后水平的优秀学生。这将使 CCNY 不仅在异质和颗粒系统动力学方面处于领先地位，而且在 STEM 领域代表性不足的人才发展方面也处于领先地位。为了帮助实现其目标，这种伙伴关系将寻求一个具有广泛代表性的咨询委员会的指导，其中包括高中校长以及学术和工业领袖。
