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

0735721Ekkad该奖项支持美国热学科学家和工程师代表团参加围绕一年两次的ASME/ISHMT热量和质量转移会议计划的六个研究研讨会，该会议将于2008年1月3-5日在印度海得拉巴的贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁理工大学举行。这次会议是为印度热科学和工程界传播研究成果的主要场所。美国机械工程师学会联合主办了这一活动，以加强印度和美国热科学研究人员之间的互动。六个专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成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。这些研讨会针对的是热量和质量传递的基本领域，预计将加强美印在未来热技术方面的合作，共享信息和建立机构桥梁，并促进所有参与者的教育和跨文化体验。美国的代表包括女性和代表不足的群体的成员，他们是职业生涯早期的教师、研究生或高级研究员。关于讲习班和会议的报告将通过一个网站传播，以便全世界的热传递研究人员能够获取这一信息。在美国，印度会议和研讨会的结果将在美国举行的下一届大型传热学会议上向更多的观众报告。这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、环境和运输系统部门提供。

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.
