Support for students to Attend 2022 APS-DAMOP Conference
Abstract
This proposal is for travel support for student participation in the 53rd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (APS DAMOP) to be held May 30 to June 3, 2022 in Orlando, FL. Support is requested for students enrolled in U.S. institutions, and will be used to offset conference attendance costs of competitively selected students The conference attracts well over one thousand participants. Nearly half of these are students (mostly graduate students). Support is needed to ensure the participation of a large and diverse group of students, and to help foster the interchange of scientific information between graduate students and more established scientists. INTELLECTUAL MERIT Due to its influence on the creativity and productivity of each individual DAMOP attendee, the APS DAMOP conference series is of outstanding importance to the vitality of atomic, molecular, and optical physics in the United States. It is particularly important for students to learn about other researchersÕ perspectives, approaches, and results related to the studentsÕ interests. The exchange of ideas, methods, and techniques in face-to-face interactions is essential to advancing theoretical and experimental AMO physics. BROADER IMPACTS The APS DAMOP conference offers an opportunity for students to present their research results and to interact with other scientists from the United States and the broader international community. For many graduate students enrolled in U.S. institutions, DAMOP is the first major scientific meeting that they attend and present at. As such, DAMOP plays a special role among the various conferences and workshops. In conjunction with the meeting, there will be, as in previous years, a one-day graduate student symposium to introduce students to modern topics in atomic, molecular, and optical physics. The theme of the 2022 graduate student symposium is ÒTextbook AMO Platforms for Fundamental Science and ApplicationsÓ. The student support requested in this proposal makes a substantial contribution to the education and training of future scientists and the nationÕs high-tech workforce. Students with a background in atomic, molecular, and optical physics acquire a broad range of knowledge and skills that enable them to contribute to many areas of science and technology.
