Drexel & The University of Orleans--IRES in Plasma Medicine

Fridman 0826207工程，特别是通过与生命科学的融合，为职业和个人发展创造了许多令人兴奋的机会。尽管有这样的机会，许多本科生还没有得到充分的信息，仍然犹豫寻求或探索工程职业。学术界面临的挑战是明确的：必须实施新的学习方法，并与研究和发现相关的兴奋必须传达给广泛的本科生。这个国际研究经验的学生提案的目的是通过从事血浆医学的新兴领域的本科生干部来应对这一挑战。 该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室和化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统司共同支持。等离子体医学是一个快速发展的医疗技术领域，它带来了大气压室温等离子体物理和工程的最新发展，以解决重要的医疗问题，如伤口愈合、感染控制和皮肤癌。德雷塞尔大学及其合作机构法国奥尔良大学通过开发专门的等离子体放电和研究等离子体与活组织之间的相互作用机制，一直处于这一领域的最前沿。参与的本科生将通过在德雷克塞尔大学和位于奥尔良大学的Groupe de Recherches sur l 'Energétique des Milieux Ionisés（GREMI）的一项分开的研究任务进行实验室发现和体验式学习。 学生将参加三个项目之一：等离子体医学的物理和化学动力学机制;手术等离子体治疗技术;和液体和组织中的非热等离子体。 在三年的时间里，该提案将每年资助四名美国本科生在法国与GREMI的研究人员合作六周。 研究经验将被纳入德雷克塞尔的合作计划。

Fridman 0826207Engineering, particularly through its convergence with life sciences, creates many exciting opportunities for career and personal development. Despite such opportunities, many undergraduates have not been well informed and still hesitate to seek or explore careers in engineering. The challenge to the academic community is clear: new learning methods must be implemented and the excitement associated with research and discovery has to be conveyed to a broad cross-section of undergraduate students. The objective of this International Research Experiences for Students proposal is to address this challenge by engaging a cadre of undergraduate students in the emerging area of plasma medicine. This award is supported jointly by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems.Plasma medicine is a quickly developing area of medical technology which brings recent developments in atmospheric pressure room temperature plasma physics and engineering to bear on important medical problems such as wound healing, infection control, and skin cancer. Drexel University and its partner institution, the University of Orleans in France, have been at the forefront of this area by developing specialized plasma discharges and investigating mechanisms of interaction between plasma and living tissues. Participating undergraduates will engage in laboratory discovery and experiential learning through a split research assignment at Drexel University and the Groupe de Recherches sur l'Energétique des Milieux Ionisés (GREMI) based at the University of Orleans. Students will take part in one of three projects: physical and chemical kinetic mechanisms in plasma medicine; surgical plasma treatment technology; and non-thermal plasma in liquids and tissues. Over a three-year period, the proposal will fund four U.S. undergraduate students per year to spend six weeks in France collaborating with researchers from GREMI. The research experience will be integrated into Drexel's co-op program.
