International Planning Visit to East Asia on Micro-Manufacturing and Manufacturing of Lightweight Structures

Koc，弗吉尼亚联邦大学东亚微制造和轻量化结构国际计划访问本奖项为美国PI Muammer Koc提供计划访问资金，Muammer Koc是弗吉尼亚联邦大学机械工程系副教授，也是NSF I/UCRC精密成形中心（#IIP 0638588）的联合主任。计划中的访问将于2007年7月7日至22日进行，PI将与中国、韩国和日本的同行会晤。对讲人：中国上海交通大学机械工程学院李树辉教授；韩国首尔大学机械与航空航天工程系吴秀益教授；日本名古屋工业大学工程物理与电子系DOHDA教授。此次计划访问在轻量化和微型制造、替代能源和生物医学设备应用领域具有强大的潜力。由于强有力的研究协同作用，项目倡议和对应方都确定了后续合作的可能性很高的新兴合作。计划中的访问有可能使美国和全球制造业更加灵活，并减少污染物对东亚全球环境的负面影响，东亚是部署可持续制造和工程解决方案的关键地区。

ABSTRACTOISE-0728987 Koc, Virginia Commonwealth UniversityInternational Planning Visit to East Asia on Micro-Manufacturing and Manufacturing Lightweight StructuresThis award provides funding for a planning visit for the U.S. PI, Muammer Koc, Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and co-director of the NSF I/UCRC Center for Precision Forming (#IIP 0638588) at the Virginia Commonwealth University. The planning visit will occur July 7-22, 2007 and the PI will meet with counterparts in China, South Korea and Japan. The counterpart hosts are Professor LI, Shuhui, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China; Professor OH, Soo-Ik, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Seoul National University, South Korea; and Professor DOHDA, Kuniaki, Department of Engineering Physics and Electronics at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan. This planning visit has the strong potential to advance knowledge in the fields of lightweight and micro-manufacturing, alternative energy and biomedical device applications. Both the PI and counterparts have identified emerging collaborations with a high likelihood of follow-up due to strong research synergies. The planning visit has the potential to make U.S. and global manufacturing more nimble and to reduce the negative impact of pollutants on the global environment in East Asia, a critical region for deployment of sustainable manufacturing and engineering solutions.
