U.S.- Argentina Program: Planning Visit on Advanced Simulation Methods for Mathematical Modeling in Food Processing

这一美国-阿根廷奖项将支持加州大学戴维斯分校的R Paul Singh博士计划访问阿根廷圣达菲，以与圣达菲的同行Susana E.Zorrilla博士、圣达菲工业技术研究所(INTEC)的Susana E.Zorrilla博士以及阿根廷拉普拉塔的Centro de Investigacion y Desarrolo en Criotecnologia de Alimentos(CIDCA)的Noemi E.Zaritzky博士和Viviana O.塞尔瓦多里博士建立合作研究项目。他们的合作涉及食品加工中的数学建模的高级模拟。阿根廷在食品加工方面具有巨大的潜力，相应的研究人员对利用现代技术为食品工业设计新设备和新工艺的能力建设感兴趣。这次访问将使辛格博士能够加强他与阿根廷同行以及他在加州大学戴维斯分校的团队建立的关系。他们将研究与建模和模拟相关的新问题，并整合阿根廷团队和辛格博士的实验室所取得的知识。该项目的成果将为旨在解决这一重要领域问题的综合(多学科和国际)研究工作提供场所。它将为培训未来的科学家提供一个极好的环境，无论是在美国还是阿根廷。参与的美国大学将从吸引优秀的阿根廷学生到他们的博士项目中受益，这种吸引力将远远超出预期研究项目的生命周期。

This U.S.-Argentina award will support a planning visit by Dr. R Paul Singh of the University of California, Davis, to Santa Fe, Argentina to establish collaborative research projects with his counterparts, Dr. Susana E. Zorrilla at Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnologico para la Industria Quimica (INTEC) in Santa Fe, and with Drs. Noemi E. Zaritzky and Viviana O. Salvadori , at Centro de Investigacion y Desarrollo en Criotecnologia de Alimentos (CIDCA), in La Plata, Argentina. Their collaboration involves advanced simulation for mathematical modeling in food processing.Argentina has great potential in food processing, and the counterpart researchers are interested in building capacities for using modern techniques for the design of new equipment and processes for the food industry. This visit will allow Dr. Singh to strengthen the relationship he has started with his counterparts in Argentina with his own group at UC, Davis. They will study new problems related to modeling and simulation, and integrate knowledge reached by the Argentine groups and Dr. Singh's lab. The results of this project will provide a venue for an integrated (multidisciplinary and international) research effort aimed at solving problems in this important area. It will offer an excellent setting for training future scientists, both in the US and in Argentina. The US university involved will benefit by attracting excellent Argentine students to their PhD programs and this attraction will extend well beyond the life of the anticipated research project.
