0233570DasguptaThis three-year award for US-France collaboration involves researchers and students at Columbia University and the University of Bordeaux. Gautum Dasgupta in the US and Jose Braga in France lead this interdisciplinary team of mechanical engineers and computer scientists. This research project addresses development of optimized computational codes, which can be employed in morphometric research in biology and anthropology. The US investigator has been developing growth calculation computer programs to yield quantitative descriptions of volume and shape change distributions. He proposes to apply these codes in morphometric research in biology and anthropology. The French team brings to this collaboration a focus on fundamental biological and anthropological issues and expertise in clinical implications in cranio-facial surgery and orthodontic treatments. This award represents the US side of parallel proposals to the NSF and the CNRS. NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the US investigators and graduate students. CNRS will support visits by French researchers and graduate students to the United States. The project will stimulate more accurate evaluation and efficient design of cranio-facial surgery and orthodontic treatments related to maxillo-facial structure.

这项为期三年的美法合作奖涉及哥伦比亚大学和波尔多大学的研究人员和学生。美国的Gautum Dasgupta和法国的Jose Braga领导着这个由机械工程师和计算机科学家组成的跨学科团队。该研究项目致力于优化计算代码的开发，可用于生物学和人类学的形态测量研究。这位美国研究人员一直在开发增长计算计算机程序，以对体积和形状变化分布进行定量描述。他建议将这些密码应用于生物学和人类学的形态计量学研究。法国团队为此次合作带来了基础生物学和人类学问题以及颅面外科和正畸治疗临床意义方面的专业知识。该奖项代表了美国方面对NSF和CNRS的平行提案。美国国家科学基金会将支付美国研究人员和研究生的旅费和生活费。法国科学研究中心将支持法国研究人员和研究生访问美国。该项目将促进颅面外科和颌面结构相关正畸治疗的准确评估和高效设计。
