External Participants
ANSWER will coordinate and support a total of eight short-term International Exchange Programs per year for selected outstanding graduate students, postdoctors, faculty, and senior researchers for neutron-diffraction experiments, data analyses, theoretical modeling, and the preparation of a publication during the visit. The preferences will be given to Ph.D. dissertation research projects that are financially independent from ANSWER and require close international collaborations among all three parties of the university, neutron facility, and industry. The first official announcement was made in June 2003. Currently, we have awarded four fellowships.
The recipients are:
Recipient #1: Prof. Ersan Ustundag and Mr. Robert Rogan [US Citizen]
Materials Science, California Institute of Technology, CA
