This award provides partial funding for an advanced study institute (ASI) on complex systems in physics to be held in Shanghai, China, in June 2012. A team of 12 senior researchers and 24 assistants from the U.S. will join colleagues at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) to offer a two-week hands-on course demonstrating table-top experiments in complex non-linear physical systems. About 70 participants, primarily junior faculty members, will be selected from underdeveloped regions of Central and Southeast Asia. The objective is to demonstrate that interesting and productive experiments can be conducted with relatively inexpensive and available materials. This ASI is a successor to similar programs that have been held in Africa, India, and Brazil. The local expenses will be supported by SJTU, and participant expenses as well as administrative costs are sponsored by the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy.This workshop will engage leading researchers and well qualified post-doctoral fellows and graduate students with participants from underdeveloped regions in Asia to conduct the table-top experiments as well as to introduce useful computer software to the participants. As has already been demonstrated by the previous Hands-on ASIs, these activities stimulate the curiosity of the participants and raise a variety of interest research questions that they can pursue on their own and in continuing collaborations. In addition to raising research issues in the study of complex phenomena the institute demonstrates useful and effective methods of scientific education. This experience is beneficial to the young U.S. assistants as much as to the Asian participants.

该奖项为将于 2012 年 6 月在中国上海举办的复杂物理系统高级研究所 (ASI) 提供部分资金。一支由 12 名美国高级研究人员和 24 名助理组成的团队将与上海交通大学的同事一起上海交通大学（SJTU）提供为期两周的实践课程，演示复杂非线性物理系统中的桌面实验。大约70名参与者，主要是初级教师，将从中亚和东南亚欠发达地区选拔。目的是证明可以使用相对便宜且可用的材料进行有趣且富有成效的实验。该 ASI 是在非洲、印度和巴西举办的类似项目的后续项目。当地费用将由上海交通大学承担，参会费用和管理费用由意大利的里雅斯特国际理论物理中心（ICTP）资助。本次研讨会将邀请顶尖研究人员和高素质的博士后和研究生参加与来自亚洲欠发达地区的参与者一起进行桌面实验并向参与者介绍有用的计算机软件。正如之前的实践 ASI 所证明的那样，这些活动激发了参与者的好奇心，并提出了各种感兴趣的研究问题，他们可以自己或在持续合作中追求这些问题。 除了提出复杂现象研究中的研究问题外，该研究所还展示了有用且有效的科学教育方法。这段经历对美国年轻助手和亚洲参与者都有益。
