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

美国弗吉尼亚联邦大学机械工程系副教授兼美国国家科学基金会I/UCRC精密成形中心联席主任(#IIP 0638588)该奖项为美国微制造和制造轻量化结构国际规划访问提供资金。计划中的访问将于2007年7月7日至22日进行，国际和平研究所将会见中国、韩国和日本的同行。主礼嘉宾包括上海交通大学机械工程学院李树辉教授中国、韩国首尔国立大学机械与航空航天工程系吴秀益教授及日本名古屋工业大学工程物理与电子学系久田久明教授。这次规划访问具有极大的潜力，可以促进轻量化和微型制造、替代能源和生物医疗设备应用领域的知识。由于强大的研究协同效应，PI和同行都确定了新出现的合作，后续行动的可能性很高。此次规划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.
