Drexel & The University of Orleans--IRES in Plasma Medicine

工程学，尤其是它与生命科学的结合，为职业和个人发展创造了许多令人兴奋的机会。尽管有这样的机会，许多本科生并没有很好地了解情况，仍然在寻找或探索工程职业方面犹豫不决。学术界面临的挑战是明确的：必须实施新的学习方法，并且必须将与研究和发现相关的兴奋传递给广泛的本科生。这项国际学生研究经验提案的目标是通过参与血浆医学新兴领域的本科生干部来解决这一挑战。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室以及化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部门联合支持。血浆医学是一门快速发展的医学技术领域，它将常压、室温等离子体物理和工程的最新发展应用于伤口愈合、感染控制和皮肤癌等重要医学问题。德雷塞尔大学及其合作机构，法国奥尔良大学，通过开发专门的等离子体放电和研究等离子体与活组织之间相互作用的机制，一直走在这一领域的前沿。参与项目的本科生将在德雷塞尔大学和奥尔良大学的能源研究小组（GREMI）分别完成一项研究任务，进行实验室发现和体验式学习。学生将参与三个项目中的一个：血浆医学的物理和化学动力学机制；外科血浆治疗技术；以及液体和组织中的非热等离子体。在三年的时间里，该提案将每年资助四名美国本科生在法国与GREMI的研究人员合作六周。研究经验将被整合到德雷克塞尔大学的合作项目中。

Fridman 0826207Engineering, particularly through its convergence with life sciences, creates many exciting opportunities for career and personal development. Despite such opportunities, many undergraduates have not been well informed and still hesitate to seek or explore careers in engineering. The challenge to the academic community is clear: new learning methods must be implemented and the excitement associated with research and discovery has to be conveyed to a broad cross-section of undergraduate students. The objective of this International Research Experiences for Students proposal is to address this challenge by engaging a cadre of undergraduate students in the emerging area of plasma medicine. This award is supported jointly by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems.Plasma medicine is a quickly developing area of medical technology which brings recent developments in atmospheric pressure room temperature plasma physics and engineering to bear on important medical problems such as wound healing, infection control, and skin cancer. Drexel University and its partner institution, the University of Orleans in France, have been at the forefront of this area by developing specialized plasma discharges and investigating mechanisms of interaction between plasma and living tissues. Participating undergraduates will engage in laboratory discovery and experiential learning through a split research assignment at Drexel University and the Groupe de Recherches sur l'Energétique des Milieux Ionisés (GREMI) based at the University of Orleans. Students will take part in one of three projects: physical and chemical kinetic mechanisms in plasma medicine; surgical plasma treatment technology; and non-thermal plasma in liquids and tissues. Over a three-year period, the proposal will fund four U.S. undergraduate students per year to spend six weeks in France collaborating with researchers from GREMI. The research experience will be integrated into Drexel's co-op program.
