US-India Planning Visit: International Collaboration for Research in Smart Structures

该奖项支持美国-印度规划访问：智能结构研究的国际合作。克拉克森大学的Jha教授将对印度进行为期两周的访问，以完成与印度德里理工学院(IITD)和班加罗尔印度科学研究所(IISc)的研究人员的合作研究。智能结构的概念构成了设计范式的根本性转变，并已被确定为美国未来的六大关键技术之一。JHA将与IITD的S.P.Singh和IISc的S.Gopalakrishnan会面。讨论研究项目的细节，制定向NSF和印度科技部(DST)提交提案的计划，评估实验室设施，并讨论学生交流安排。这些合作将利用这三个机构现有的互补专业知识，并具有很高的协同研究潜力，将导致创新。Clarkson与其智能结构实验室相关的本科生和毕业生接触创新的多学科研究和国际合作，将通过Clarkson以实验项目为基础的项目加强学习。

Ratneshwar JhaThis award supports the U.S.-India Planning Visit: International Collaboration for Research in Smart Structures. Professor Jha of Clarkson University will make a two week visit to India to finalize collaborative research with investigators at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) and the Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc), Bangalore. The concept of smart structures constitutes a fundamental shift in design paradigms and has been identified as one of the six key future technologies in the U.S.Jha will meet with S.P. Singh, IITD and S. Gopalakrishnan, IISc. to discuss the details of the research projects, formulate plans for proposal submission to NSF and to the Department of Science & Technology (DST) in India, assess laboratory facilities, and discuss arrangements for student exchanges. The collaborations will leverage complementary expertise available at the three institutions and has high potential for synergistic research that will lead to innovation. Exposure of Clarkson undergraduates and graduates associated with its Smart Structures Laboratory to innovative multidisciplinary research and to international collaboration will enhance learning through Clarkson's experimental project-based programs.
