This award will support Dr. Mihir Sen and an undergraduate or graduate student of the University of Notre Dame (UND) in two planning visits to Drs. Francisco Gonzalez and Ricardo Romero-Mendez of the Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi (UASLP, Mexico. The objective of the proposed visits is to plan research and train students to advance current understanding of heat transport in biological tissue. Ultimately, the collaborators aim to develop a mathematical model and computer code with potential application to the analysis of a whole range of phenomena that exhibit a thermal signature at tissue surfaces. These applications, for example, are bound to be important in the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of burn victims. The proposed collaboration will join the strengths of the bio-engineering group at UND in bio-heat transfer, with the expertise at the Mexican UASLP in thermal therapies. Students from both institutions, graduate and undergraduate, will participate in the proposed research. In addition, the collaborators will incorporate the research into new and existing courses at the UND and at UASLP.

该奖项将支持Mihir Sen博士和圣母大学（UND）的一名本科生或研究生进行两次计划访问。墨西哥圣路易斯波托西自治大学的弗朗西斯科·冈萨雷斯和里卡多·罗梅罗-门德斯。建议访问的目的是计划研究和训练学生推进当前对生物组织热传输的理解。最终，合作者的目标是开发一个数学模型和计算机代码，以潜在地应用于分析组织表面表现出热特征的各种现象。例如，这些应用在烧伤患者的诊断、分类和治疗中必然是重要的。拟议的合作将结合联合开发大学生物工程小组在生物热传递方面的优势，以及墨西哥uslp在热疗法方面的专业知识。两所院校的研究生和本科生都将参与拟议的研究。此外，合作者将把这项研究纳入联合国开发计划署和美国手语研究所的新课程和现有课程。
