U.S.-India Workshop: Heat and Mass Transfer and Biannual ASME-ISHMT Conference, Hyderabad, India, January 3-5, 2008

该奖项将为美国热科学家和工程师代表团提供支持，使其参加计划于2008年1月3日至5日在印度海得拉巴贾瓦哈拉尔尼赫鲁理工大学举行的两年一度的ASME/ISHMT热与传质会议的六个研究研讨会。这次会议是印度热科学和工程界传播研究成果的主要场所。美国机械工程师协会共同主办了这次活动，以加强印度和美国热科学研究人员之间的互动。六个主题领域的互动研讨会旨在促进关于下一代热挑战的讨论，并在共同感兴趣的领域促进相应的印美研究合作。美国代表团包括13名资深科学家、4名博士后研究人员和9名研究生。这些研讨会以热和传质的基础领域为目标，预计将加强美印在未来热技术方面的合作，分享信息，建立机构桥梁，并为所有参与者促进教育和跨文化经验。美国代表包括女性和来自代表性不足群体的成员，他们是早期职业教师、研究生或高级研究人员。关于研讨会和会议的报告将通过一个网站发布，以便全世界的传热研究人员能够访问这些信息。在美国，印度会议和研讨会的结果将在下届在美国举行的主要传热会议上报告给更多的听众。本次研讨会的资金由国际科学与工程办公室和化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统司提供。

0735721Ekkad This award provides support for a delegation of US thermal scientists and engineers to participate in six research workshops planned around the biannual ASME/ISHMT Heat and Mass Transfer Conference, which will be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India, January 3-5, 2008. This conference is the premier venue for disseminating research findings for India's thermal sciences and engineering community. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers co-sponsors this event to enhance interactions between Indian and US thermal sciences researchers. The interactive workshops in six topical areas are designed promote discussion about the next-generation of thermal challenges and seed corresponding Indo-US research collaborations in those areas of mutual interest. The US delegation includes 13 senior scientists, 4 postdoctoral researchers, and 9 graduate students. The workshops, which target fundamental areas in heat and mass transfer, are expected to enhance US-India cooperation on future thermal technologies, share information and build institutional bridges, and promote educational and cross-cultural experiences for all participants. US delegates include women and members from under-represented groups who are early-career faculty, graduate students, or senior researchers. The report on the workshops and conference will be disseminated through a website so that heat transfer researchers worldwide will be able to access this information. In U.S., the results of the India conference and workshops will be reported to a larger audience at the next major Heat Transfer Conference held in the U.S. Funding for this workshop is provided by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems.
