0966561Chetan SankarAuburn University This International Research Experience for Students (IRES) award entitled U.S.-India Research Program to Promote Improved Quality of Life thru Innovative Applications of Engineering Technologies provides fifteen Auburn University students a unique opportunity to conduct mechanical engineering research at the premier Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) and the Center for the Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC)- Mohali, India. US PI Chetan Sankar,AU is an expert in tele-communications technologies and will work jointly with J.S. Bhatia, Director of CDAC-Mohali, a national R&D laboratory and pioneer of telemedicine in India. US coPI P.K. Raju, AU will partner with Professors A. Ramachandraiah and K. Balasubramanian of IITM, all of whom are Directors of either the acoustics or non-destructive testing labs at their respective universities. For each of the three award years, five graduate and undergraduate students will avail themselves of the combined strengths of these academic/research institutions for a comprehensive international research experience. The unifying research theme for this IRES project is the application of three engineering technologies to improve the quality of life. By using 1)thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort measurement technologies, student teams will design more comfortable and energy efficient living spaces, thereby improving the quality of living, 2) using non-destructive testing technologies, students will develop products to help evaluate the structural integrity of roads and bridges, thereby improving the quality of highway infrastructure, and 3) using wireless technologies, student teams will develop new products that will make possible the delivery of high quality healthcare through telemedicine applications, thereby improving the quality of health. The intellectual merit of this project is that Auburn University students will have an intensive research and collaborative experience with teams of students and researchers in India. The AU students will work with experienced researchers and industry experts to help them document their research in papers and case studies that will be published in journals and presented at conferences. As for broader impacts, the students will develop personal contacts, new international networks, and deeper insights on global R&D issues, all of which could have a lasting impact on their continued interest in international collaborative research. It is also expected that solutions developed by student teams will eventually be integrated into products, processes and models that will directly benefit society. Case studies developed in this project will be integrated into the AU curriculum and will broaden the impact of the international experience to include students that did not have the opportunity to directly participate in IRES.

0966561切坦桑卡奥本大学这个国际研究经验的学生（IRES）奖，题为美国-印度研究计划，以促进通过工程技术的创新应用提高生活质量提供了15个奥本大学的学生一个独特的机会，进行机械工程研究，在总理印度理工学院，马德拉斯（IITM）和先进计算（CDAC）的发展中心-莫哈里，印度。 美国PI Chetan Sankar，Au是电信技术方面的专家，将与J.S.印度国家研发实验室和远程医疗先驱CDAC-Mohali主任Bhatia说。 US coPI P.K.拉朱，Au将与教授A。Ramachandraiah和K.他们都是各自大学声学或无损检测实验室的主任。 对于三个奖项每年，五名研究生和本科生将利用这些学术/研究机构的综合优势，获得全面的国际研究经验。 这个IRES项目的统一研究主题是应用三种工程技术来提高生活质量。 通过使用1）热，视觉和声学舒适度测量技术，学生团队将设计更舒适，节能的生活空间，从而提高生活质量，2）使用无损检测技术，学生将开发产品，以帮助评估道路和桥梁的结构完整性，从而提高公路基础设施的质量，3）使用无线技术，学生团队将开发新产品，通过远程医疗应用提供高质量的医疗保健，从而提高健康质量。 该项目的智力价值在于，奥本大学的学生将与印度的学生和研究人员团队进行深入的研究和合作。 Au学生将与经验丰富的研究人员和行业专家合作，帮助他们在论文和案例研究中记录他们的研究，这些论文和案例研究将发表在期刊上并在会议上发表。 至于更广泛的影响，学生将发展个人联系，新的国际网络，并对全球研发问题有更深入的见解，所有这些都可能对他们继续对国际合作研究产生持久的影响。 学生团队开发的解决方案最终将被整合到直接造福社会的产品、流程和模型中。 在这个项目中开发的案例研究将被纳入Au课程，并将扩大国际经验的影响，包括没有机会直接参加IRES的学生。
