The International Research Experience for Students (IRES) Program, sponsored by NSF has funded the University of Hawaii to send 4 US students for summer research study at the University of Applied Sciences at Dresden, Germany.
The Hawai`i IRES program, currently entering its second year, is co-directed by Dr. Chittaranjan Ray, professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa, and Dr. Thomas Grischek, professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Dresden.
Participants will collaborate on field research and site visits in and around Dresden. In addition, they will conduct group and independent study on various aspects of riverbank filtration systems and how models are used to manage them; optimization of riverbank filtration systems, and how such systems are used by water utilities to remove common pollutants found in rivers.
The 2009 IRES Summer Research Study Group established and maintained a SIP group for sharing their research and cultural exchange experiences online. Follow the links to see photos, journals and discussion pages.
