1630471-AkayNSF has made an award in support of travel expenses of 15 senior undergraduate and graduate students who will be attending the International Biocomplexity, Biodesign and Bioinnovation Summer School being held at Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey, June 26-July 2, 2016. The Summer School hosts 6 invited faculty members and an anticipated 30 attendees. Attendance is limited to engineering, computer science, mathematics and biological science students who have the necessary math courses to understand the lectures and participate in discussions and panels. The NSF travel fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis based on the scientific credentials of the candidates including their academic standing and relevance of their research, career goals and financial necessity. The main objective of the education program is to expose undergraduate and graduate biological science and bioengineering students to the relatively new approaches of Bionano Sensors, Bioelectronics Medicine, Biopharma Engineering and Technology and Healthcare Entrepreneurship. These topics will be helpful to undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and mathematics who are interested in pursuing research in biology, biomolecular engineering and bioengineering. The summer school uses lectures (30 by expert faculty) and panel discussions (led by faculty and participants) to stimulate further interdisciplinary research and collaborations among engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and medical researchers. Activities will help in identify new, challenging directions in complex biological science and bioengineering research. The goals of the conference, including the emphasis on student participation, are well matched to programs supported by the Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems (CBET) Division.

1630471-Akaynsf已获得奖励，以支持15名高级本科生和研究生的旅行费。 出勤率仅限于具有必要的数学课程来理解讲座并参加讨论和小组的工程学，计算机科学，数学和生物科学专业的学生。 NSF旅行奖学金将根据候选人的科学证书，包括他们的学术地位以及其研究，职业目标和财务必要性的相关性，以竞争性授予。 该教育计划的主要目的是将本科和研究生生物学科学和生物工程学生揭露，以bionano传感器，生物电子医学，生物制药工程和技术以及医疗保健企业家精神的相对较新的方法。这些主题将对有兴趣从事生物学，生物分子工程和生物工程研究的计算机科学和数学的本科生和研究生有所帮助。 暑期学校使用讲座（专家教师的30次）和小组讨论（由教师和参与者领导）来刺激工程师，数学家，计算机科学家和医学研究人员之间的进一步跨学科研究和合作。 活动将有助于确定复杂生物学和生物工程研究中的新的，具有挑战性的方向。会议的目标，包括对学生参与的重视，与化学，生物工程，环境和运输系统（CBET）部门支持的计划非常匹配。
