Planning Visit to China: Think Green - Energy, Education, Environmental Initiatives; Nanjing, China

该奖项支持一组美国教师计划访问中国。纽约理工学院（NYIT）的Nada Assaf-Anid教授和来自科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的Alan Mickelson教授将与来自纽约理工学院和其他机构的一批科学家和工程师一起访问南京邮电大学（NUPT）。此次访问将与将于4月8日举行的为期两天的“绿色思考：能源、教育、环境倡议”论坛同时举行。2010年9月9日，作为纽约理工学院和南京理工大学之间的多学科合作成果，中国江苏省南京市。此次访问的目的是就纽约理工学院与纽约大学之间的研究合作进行现场讨论。科罗拉多大学工程与计算机科学学院美国莫顿森发展中社区工程中心（Mortenson Center in Engineering for Developing Communities）和北工大（NUPT），在这三家机构的基础上？信息和通信系统、远程保健、远程教育、嵌入式系统技术方面的综合专业知识。讨论将围绕独立、可持续发电系统的发展展开，例如微型和微型水电或太阳能设备、风能和混合动力系统，以及智能电网和智能网络与环境监测/控制技术的发展。这种合作的技术影响很可能使这三家机构的工程和计算研究受益。新能源系统的进展将带来全球效益。此次合作还将加强中美教师之间的科学合作，并为两国学生提供国际研究经验的机会。

This award supports a planning visit to China by a group of US faculty. Professors Nada Assaf-Anid of New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) and Alan Mickelson (U Colorado-Boulder) together with a cohort of scientists and engineers from NYIT and other institutions will visit with faculty at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications (NUPT). The visit will take place in conjunction with the two-day forum, Think Green: Energy, Education, Environmental Initiatives, that will be held April 8 ? 9, 2010, as a collaborative and multi-disciplinary effort between NYIT and NUPT, in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China. The goal of the visit is to undertake onsite discussions about research collaborations between NYIT?s School of Engineering and Computing Sciences, the University of Colorado?s Mortenson Center in Engineering for Developing Communities and NUPT, building on the three institutions? combined expertise in information and communication systems, tele-health, tele-education, embedded-systems technologies. Discussions will revolve around the development of independent, sustainable power-generation systems, such as pico- and micro-hydro or solar devices, wind and hybrid power systems, as well as smart gridding and smart networks with the development of environmental monitoring/control technologies.The technical impact of this collaboration is likely to benefit engineering and computing research in all three institutions. Progress on new energy systems will yield global benefits. The collaboration will also enhance scientific cooperation between Chinese and US faculty and provide students from both nations with opportunities for international research experience.
