NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPITON: The goal of the 2014 Professional Development Workshop in Ceramics is to enhance the career development of the next generation of future leaders in ceramic materials research and education. Three early-career faculty who have recently been awarded NSF CAREER grants from the Ceramics Program in the Division of Materials Research are the focus of the workshop activities. The main activity is an intensive two-day workshop that brings together three CAREER awardees with a group of eight to ten colleagues and peers, including recognized experts in their research areas, leaders from their chosen technical and professional societies, and international researchers with relevant experience in a forum that promote professional discussions, mentoring and networking activities. The unique exchange and interactions between all participants will impact the early-career faculty's respective fields of research, exchange of best practices for training and teaching, as well as the forging of new collaborative research opportunities. These outcomes should provide a strong base of support that helps the CAREER awardees succeed in becoming outstanding researchers and educators in their chosen fields. The workshop is also open to other early-career faculty who are eligible to apply for CAREER grants, but have not yet applied or been successful with their proposals, as well as interested post-doctoral associates and faculty members. TECHNICAL DETAILS: The 2014 Professional Development Workshop in Ceramics focuses on three technical topics to be presented by each early-career faculty: 1) Quantification of the properties of individual heterojunction nanowires and their performance as photocatalysts. 2) Examination of the role of elasticity in strengthening glasses by in situ light scattering, and 3) Optimization and nano- engineering of the energy interconversion properties of oxide thermoelectric materials. The respective early-career faculty and the technical experts in their field of ceramic materials research are leading the scientific discussions for the purpose of critically evaluating research plans, career development, and education efforts.

非技术描述：2014年陶瓷专业发展研讨会的目标是增强陶瓷材料研究和教育领域未来领导者的职业发展。最近在材料研究部的陶瓷计划获得了NSF职业赠款的三名早期职业教师是研讨会活动的重点。主要活动是一项密集的为期两天的研讨会，将三个职业获奖者与八到十个同事和同龄人组成的小组汇集在一起​​，包括其研究领域的公认专家，他们选择的技术和专业社会的领导者以及具有相关经验的国际研究人员在促进专业讨论，指导和网络活动的论坛中。所有参与者之间的独特交流和互动将影响早期职业学院各自的研究领域，交流培训和教学的最佳实践以及锻造新的合作研究机会。这些结果应提供强大的支持基础，以帮助职业获奖者成功成为所选领域的杰出研究人员和教育者。该研讨会也向其他有资格申请职业赠款但尚未申请或成功的提议以及感兴趣的博士后同事和教职员工的早期职业教师开放。技术详细信息：2014年陶瓷专业发展研讨会侧重于每个早期职业学院要介绍的三个技术主题：1）量化单个异性结纳米线的性质及其作为光催化剂的性能。 2）检查弹性在原位光散射加强玻璃中的作用，以及3）氧化物热电材料的能量互连特性的优化和纳米工程。各自的早期职业教师及其陶瓷材料研究领域的技术专家正在领导科学讨论，目的是批判性地评估研究计划，职业发展和教育工作。
