IRES: U.S.-India Collaborative Research in Materials and Biomedical Applications of Rapid Prototyping with Non-Ferrous Materials Technology Development Center, Hyderabad, India

[1001065]与有色材料技术发展中心（NFTDC）在快速成型材料和生物医学应用方面的合作研究，海德拉巴，印度。密尔沃基工程学院（MSOE）教授Subha Kumpathy将与印度理工学院院长K. Balasubramanian博士共同启动为期三年的学生国际研究经验（IRES）项目。位于印度海得拉巴的有色材料技术发展中心（NFTDC）是中国首屈一指的国家中心。每年，来自密尔沃基地区的4名本科理工科学生将在NFTDC最先进的设施中与首席导师Balasubramanian和其他研究人员一起进行为期六周的跨学科研究，研究快速成型的材料和生物医学应用。核心研究重点是生物医学应用的快速成型，并将材料科学与前沿生物工程联系起来，以实现实际应用。国外研究团队和主办单位有强大的核心研究项目和一流的设施来支持拟开展的工作。学生将从事工程研究、快速原型技术、材料进步、加工和表征、生物医学设备和开发、跨学科小组会议和研讨会、PowerPoint演示和研究海报，所有这些都有望在可发表的研究中达到高潮。国际部分与MSOE家庭校园的综合前后活动相结合。从印度返回后，IRES参与者将与教师和学生互动，分享他们在校园的研究和文化体验。预计该项目将加强与印度同事在生物医学和快速成型的其他尖端应用方面的长期合作。此外，为本科生提供探索生物医学应用的创新和创造性方法的机会，将推动他们在IRES之后继续参与研究，并为他们提供原本不会考虑的全球研究机会。

1001065KumpathyMilwaukee School of Engineering IRES: Collaborative Research in Materials and Biomedical Applications of Rapid Prototyping with the Non-Ferrous Materials Technology Development Center (NFTDC), Hyderabad, India.Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) Professor Subha Kumpathy will launch a three-year International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program with Dr. K. Balasubramanian, Director of India?s premier national center, the Non-Ferrous Materials Technology Development Center (NFTDC) in Hyderabad, India. Each year, 4 undergraduate science and engineering students from the Milwaukee area will conduct six weeks of inter-disciplinary research in materials and biomedical applications of rapid prototyping with lead-mentor Balasubramanian and other researchers at NFTDC's state-of-the-art facilities. The core research focuses on rapid prototyping for biomedical applications and links materials science with cutting-edge bioengineering for practical applications. The foreign research team and host site have strong core research programs and first-rate facilities to support the proposed work. Students will be engaged in engineering research, rapid prototyping techniques, advances in materials, processing and characterization, biomedical devices and development, interdisciplinary group sessions and seminars, PowerPoint presentations and research posters, all of which is expected to culminate in publishable research. The international component is coupled with integrated pre- and post-activities at the MSOE home campus. Upon return from India, IRES participants will interact with faculty and students to share their research and cultural experiences on-campus. The project is expected to enhance long-term collaborations with Indian colleagues in biomedical and other cutting-edge applications of rapid prototyping. Additionally, offering undergraduates the chance to explore innovative and creative approaches to biomedical applications will serve as an impetus to their continued involvement in research after IRES as well as provide opportunities for global research that they otherwise would not have considered.
