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

这个美国-阿根廷奖将支持R保罗辛格博士的加州大学戴维斯分校，到圣达菲，阿根廷建立合作研究项目与他的同行，博士苏珊娜E。Zorrilla在圣达菲的Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnologico帕拉la Industria Quimica（INTEC），并与Noemi E. Zaritzky和Viviana O. Salvadori，Centro de Investigacion y Desarrollo en Criotecnologia de Alimentos（CIDCA），in拉普拉塔，阿根廷. 阿根廷在食品加工方面有很大的潜力，对口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在加州大学戴维斯分校的关系。 他们将研究与建模和仿真相关的新问题，并整合阿根廷团队和Singh博士实验室的知识。 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）研究工作提供一个场所。 它将为美国和阿根廷培养未来的科学家提供一个很好的环境。 参与的美国大学将通过吸引优秀的阿根廷学生参加他们的博士课程而受益，这种吸引力将远远超出预期的研究项目的寿命。

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.
