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

这一奖项支持一群美国教职员工计划访问中国。纽约理工大学(NYIT)的Nada Assaf-anid教授和科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的Alan Mickelson教授以及一批来自NYIT和其他机构的科学家和工程师将与南京邮电大学(NUPT)的教职员工一起访问南京邮电大学。此次访问将与为期两天的论坛--思考绿色：能源、教育、环境倡议--一起进行，该论坛将于2010年4月8日至9日在南京举行，这是纽约理工大学和南京理工大学联合举办的跨学科合作论坛，中国。访问的目的是就纽约理工大学S工程与计算科学学院、科罗拉多大学S·莫滕森社区发展工程中心和南京理工大学之间的研究合作进行现场讨论。在信息和通信系统、远程保健、远程教育、嵌入式系统技术方面的综合专业知识。讨论将围绕开发独立、可持续的发电系统展开，例如微微水电或太阳能装置、风能和混合动力系统，以及随着环境监测/控制技术的发展而发展的智能电网和智能网络。这一合作的技术影响可能有利于所有三个机构的工程和计算研究。新能源系统的进步将带来全球利益。此次合作还将加强中美两国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.
