项目摘要

Nontechnical AbstractOur goal is to train a cohort of early-stage chemistry and chemical engineering graduate students to the connecting M3 cycle consisting of synthesis (Make), innovative measurements (Measure) and system modeling and sustainable operation (Model), in the context of applied chemistry in Germany. This M3 cycle is critically important in modern chemistry as it represents the most effective way to achieve rapid advances in chemical synthesis and the understanding of chemical transformations, yet this cycle is not broadly implemented in the U.S. chemical science curriculum. The proposed educational excursion will train students to better understand the interrelationship between academia and industry, as well as intercultural differences that they will encounter in a global economy. We aim to use this educational approach as an attractor to recruit highly motivated doctoral students who wish to specialize in innovative measurements, while helping them connect to the broader concept of the M3 cycle, and so contribute to society as interdisciplinary and intercultural ambassadors. There is an intertwined need in chemistry education: (i) to train the next generation experts in advanced and new chemical measurement technology, and (ii) to teach them how to conduct, view and present their specialized and novel measurement methods in the context of problems of utmost interest to chemistry, at the nexus of science discovery and societal needs. Graduate students who have carried out their studies at the M3 interface will undoubtedly think differently as leaders in their field and have a better understanding to connect to the German chemistry landscape. The successes of the M3 educational experience is expected to help inform the development of new courses and emphases for chemistry graduate programs.Technical AbstractExpert groups in advanced magnetic resonance at University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB) (Han), University of California-Berkeley (UCB)(Reimer), University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA)(Bouchard) and the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH)in Aachen, Germany (Blümich) joined together to pool their advanced analytical tools to work on integrated problem-solving in a three-way M3 cycle, in synergistic collaboration with chemistry and engineering colleagues to concentrate their efforts on the training of a cohort of graduate students. Several research groups at the RWTH Aachen University are ideal partners to pursue this educational endeavor, not only because the RWTH is ranked #1 in forging chemistry-engineering partnerships, but also because there are strong existing multi-PI collaborations between the UCLA/UCSB/UCB and RWTH PIs that the IRES fellows can immerse themselves in. A cohort of 5-7 graduate students per year will be selected and recruited in the first year of their doctoral studies, with the goal to integrate their research and training in the M3 cycle throughout their entire graduate career with leveraging support and collaborative backing. These select students will be prepared pre-departure with weekly online sessions on the German language and culture. The IRES cohort will gather at UCSB for an orientation conference ahead of their departure and travel to Aachen in the summer following the first year of their doctoral studies. The expected outcome is that the graduate students have gained hands-on experience on how to accelerate the discovery and triaging of chemical, materials and system parameters and how to design reaction pathways given a set of starting chemicals. This learning process and evolution will be shared at an annual workshop involving current and past IRES fellows. The effectiveness of the IRES fellows program will be evaluated, and their professional connection within the cohort and the collaborators maintained through social media.

非技术摘要我们的目标是培养一批早期化学和化学工程研究生，在应用的背景下连接 M3 循环，包括合成 (Make)、创新测量 (Measure) 以及系统建模和可持续运行 (Model)。该 M3 循环在现代化学中至关重要，因为它代表了实现化学合成和化学转化理解快速进步的最有效方法，但该循环并未在美国化学科学课程中广泛实施。教育性的短途旅行将训练学生更好地理解学术界和工业界之间的相互关系，以及他们在全球经济中遇到的跨文化差异。我们的目标是利用这种教育方法来吸引那些希望专注于创新的高度积极的博士生。化学教育有一个相互交织的需求：(i) 培养下一代先进和新型化学测量专家。技术，以及（ii）教他们如何在化学最感兴趣的问题的背景下，在科学发现和已完成其研究的社会需求之间进行、观察和展示他们的专业和新颖的测量方法。 M3 接口的研究无疑将作为其领域的领导者以不同的方式思考，并更好地理解与德国化学领域的联系。M3 教育经验的成功预计将有助于为化学研究生课程的新课程和重点的开发提供信息。 .技术摘要先进专家组加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校 (UCSB)（汉）、加州大学伯克利分校 (UCB)（赖默）、加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA)（布查德）和莱茵-威斯特法伦理工学院 (RWTH) 的磁共振德国亚琛 (Blümich) 联合起来，汇集先进的分析工具，致力于在三向 M3 循环中综合解决问题，亚琛工业大学的几个研究小组与化学和工程同事进行协同合作，集中精力培养一批研究生，是追求这一教育事业的理想合作伙伴，这不仅是因为亚琛工业大学在锻造化学领域排名第一。 - 工程合作伙伴关系，还因为 UCLA/UCSB/UCB 和 RWTH PI 之间现有强大的多 PI 合作，IRES 研究员可以沉浸其中。每年有 5-7 名研究生将在博士学习的第一年被选拔和招募，目标是将他们的研究和培训融入到整个研究生职业生涯的 M3 周期中，这些选定的学生将在出发前每周做好准备。 IRES 学生将在出发前聚集在 UCSB 参加一次迎新会议，并在博士学习第一年结束后前往亚琛。亲身体验如何加速化学、材料和系统参数的发现和分类，以及如何设计给定一组起始化学品的路径。当前和过去的 IRES 研究员将在年度研讨会上分享这一学习过程和进展。进行评估，并通过社交媒体维持他们在群体和合作者中的专业联系。
