IRES: International Research Experience for Students at the Indian Institute of Science for the Development of Tunable Microwave Metamaterial Devices.

0728235 Varadan该奖项支持阿肯色州费耶特维尔大学(UAF)的学生(IRES)与印度科学研究院(IISc)位于印度班加罗尔的材料研究中心的教职员工一起参与微波和毫米波设备的研究。Vasundara Varadan教授，电气工程系兼微波与光学成像和表征实验室主任，提议与印度同行Saluru Krupanidhi博士开展研究合作，Saluru Krupanidhi博士是铁电和超导材料方面的领先研究员，他在IISC建立了最先进的制造和表征设施。学生研究项目旨在利用MRC研究人员在制造新型功能材料方面的互补优势，这些材料将增强UAF在设计和模拟、设备制造和表征方面的实力。学生研究人员将花费一学年的时间进行设计和模拟，然后利用在班加罗尔IISC的六周时间合作实现他们对新微波设备的设计目标。微波设备广泛应用于民用和国防通信系统以及汽车、飞机、船舶和卫星等交通系统。除了加强他们的研究技能外，参与这个项目的学生还将受益于扩大他们的人脉，并对全球研发问题发展更深入的见解。他们将有机会参观位于班加罗尔的通用电气和通用汽车的研究实验室。总的来说，这些机会有可能对未来的国际合作活动产生积极影响。没有直接参与的学生将通过演讲和可能发表的国际研究结果从同龄人的经验中受益。

0728235Varadan This award supports an International Research Experience for Students (IRES) at the University of Arkansas Fayetteville (UAF) to participate in research on microwave and millimeter wave devices with faculty and students at the Indian Institute of Science's (IISc) Materials Research Center in Bangalore, India. Professor Vasundara Varadan, Department of Electrical Engineering and Director of the Microwave & Optics Laboratory for Imaging and Characterization has proposed a research collaboration with Indian counterpart, Dr. Saluru Krupanidhi, a leading researcher in ferroelectric and superconducting materials, who has set up a state-of-the-art fabrication and characterization facility at the IISc. The student research projects are designed to leverage the complementary strength of the MRC researchers in fabrication of novel, functional materials that will enhance UAF's strength in design and simulation, device fabrication and characterization. Student researchers will spend the academic year on design and simulation and then use the six-weeks at the IISc in Banglaore to work with collaboratively on realizing their design goals for new microwave devices.Microwave devices are widely used in civilian and defense communication systems as well as in transportation systems such as automobiles, airplanes, ships and satellites. In addition to strengthening their research skills, students participating in this project will benefit by broadening their contacts and developing deeper insights into global R&D issues. They will have the opportunity to visit the research laboratories of General Electric and General Motors located in Bangalore. Collectively, these opportunities have the potential to positively impact international collaborative activities in the future. Students not directly participating will gain from the experiences of their peers through presentations and possibly the publication of the results of their international research.
