U.S.-India Workshop: Heat and Mass Transfer and Biannual ASME-ISHMT Conference, Hyderabad, India, January 3-5, 2008

0735721 Ekkad该奖项为美国热科学家和工程师代表团提供支持，以参加计划于2008年1月3日至5日在印度海得拉巴贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁科技大学举行的两年一度的ASME/ISHMT热质传递会议周围的六个研究研讨会。 本次会议是印度热科学和工程界传播研究成果的首要场所。 美国机械工程师协会共同赞助了这次活动，以加强印度和美国热科学研究人员之间的互动。 六个专题领域的互动研讨会旨在促进关于下一代热挑战的讨论，并在这些共同感兴趣的领域开展相应的印美研究合作。 美国代表团包括13名高级科学家，4名博士后研究人员和9名研究生。 这些研讨会针对传热和传质的基本领域，预计将加强美印在未来热技术方面的合作，分享信息，建立机构桥梁，并促进所有参与者的教育和跨文化经验。 美国代表包括女性和代表性不足的群体成员，他们是早期职业教师，研究生或高级研究人员。 研讨会和会议的报告将通过一个网站传播，以便世界各地的传热研究人员能够获得这些信息。 在美国，印度会议和研讨会的成果将在下一次在美国举行的主要传热会议上向更多的观众报告。 该研讨会的资金由国际科学和工程办公室以及化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统司提供。

0735721Ekkad This award provides support for a delegation of US thermal scientists and engineers to participate in six research workshops planned around the biannual ASME/ISHMT Heat and Mass Transfer Conference, which will be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India, January 3-5, 2008. This conference is the premier venue for disseminating research findings for India's thermal sciences and engineering community. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers co-sponsors this event to enhance interactions between Indian and US thermal sciences researchers. The interactive workshops in six topical areas are designed promote discussion about the next-generation of thermal challenges and seed corresponding Indo-US research collaborations in those areas of mutual interest. The US delegation includes 13 senior scientists, 4 postdoctoral researchers, and 9 graduate students. The workshops, which target fundamental areas in heat and mass transfer, are expected to enhance US-India cooperation on future thermal technologies, share information and build institutional bridges, and promote educational and cross-cultural experiences for all participants. US delegates include women and members from under-represented groups who are early-career faculty, graduate students, or senior researchers. The report on the workshops and conference will be disseminated through a website so that heat transfer researchers worldwide will be able to access this information. In U.S., the results of the India conference and workshops will be reported to a larger audience at the next major Heat Transfer Conference held in the U.S. Funding for this workshop is provided by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems.
