OISE-0917569(王，东北大学)，？土木和机械系统的生物灵感传感和驱动技术：美国-台湾双边研讨会？摘要该奖项支持美国和台湾的一个研讨会，该研讨会旨在制定一个全面的研究议程，以促进智能结构技术的进步，以保护土木和机械基础设施系统，基于生物灵感传感和驱动概念的适应。研讨会由台湾大学土木工程系陆展雄教授与台湾大学土木工程系教授陆展雄联合举办，将为服务于迫切社会需求的新兴领域制定一个综合研究前沿的框架。互补的专业知识将使重要的研究进展和对学生和初级研究人员的培训成为可能。这次会议定于2009年4月在台湾举行，将采用跨学科的方法，包括来自美国和台湾的工程、自然科学和医学领域的领导者，以解决生物灵感传感和驱动领域新兴领域的关键问题，研究基础设施系统和机械系统的机遇和技术挑战。年轻的研究人员和学生将参加演讲和研讨会讨论，以确定联合研究的集体未来愿景。讲习班的成果将在研究界和资助机构中传播，以鼓励这一领域的合作研究。该研讨会由传感器创新和系统计划以及结构系统和结构减灾计划共同资助，这两个计划都在工程局的土木、机械和制造创新部门。

OISE-0917569 (Wang, Northeastern University), ?Bio-inspired Sensing and Actuation Technologies for Civil and Mechanical Systems: A Bilateral US-Taiwan Workshop?AbstractThis award supports a U.S.-Taiwan workshop that aims to develop a comprehensive research agenda for collaboration on the advancement of smart structure technology for the protection of civil and mechanical infrastructure systems based on the adaptation of biologically inspired sensing and actuation concepts. Jointly organized by the PI and Professor Chin-Hsiung Loh of National Taiwan University Department of Civil Engineering, the workshop will formulate a framework for integrated research frontier on emerging areas serving pressing societal needs. Complementary expertise will enable important research advances and training of students and junior researchers. The meeting, scheduled to take place in Taiwan in April 2009, will adopt an interdisciplinary approach, including field leaders in engineering, natural sciences, and medicine from both the U.S. and Taiwan to address key questions in the emerging fields of bio-inspired sensing and actuation fields, examining opportunities and technical challenges for infrastructure systems and mechanical systems. Young researchers and students will be targeted to participate in both the presentations and workshop discussions to define a collective future vision for joint research. Workshop results will be disseminated in the research community and to funding agencies to encourage collaborative research in this area. The workshop is cofunded by the Sensor Innovation and Systems program and the Structural Systems and Hazard Mitigation of Structures program, both in the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation in the Directorate for Engineering.
