OISE 0754138GomezThis International Research Experience for Students (IRES) activity links a team at the California State University- Los Angeles led by Frank A. Gomez with counterparts from Debrecen University in Hungary. Principal Investigator Gomez and his colleague James Rudd, also at California State University, will work with Hungarian partners, Attila Gaspar and Lajos Daroczi, to manage a balanced, team-based approach that provides undergraduate and graduate-level students with a solid background in microfluidic applications. This will be accomplished by examining problems at the interface of chemistry, materials science and chemistry-related disciplines with the goal of demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of science and the value of international collaboration.Annually, this IRES program will provide research experience for three U.S. undergraduate students and one graduate student who will travel to Debrecen to work with U.S. and Hungarian mentors on assigned projects that contribute to their professional development through participation in cooperative research, seminars, presentations, and career workshops. The guided student projects for this IRES program involve: 1) design and fabrication of microfluidic chips, 2) testing for leakage and blockage using the microscope and valve and pump techniques; 3) experiments on the chips and analysis of affinity capillary electrophoresis ( ACE) data, 4) use of chemometrics for optimization studies and 5) comparison of separations. Results should lead to refinements for two microfluidic technologies useful in analytical chemistry: a magnet-based valve and a chromatography column. This U.S.-Hungary IRES collaboration fulfills the program objective of developing global scientists and engineers by enabling experts in the United States and Europe to combine complementary talents and share research and education resources in an area of strong mutual interest and competence. Broader impacts include the introduction of U.S. students, including students recruited from community colleges, to international expertise on microfluidic systems, an area relevant to pharmaceutical diagnostics. The educational value of the IRES rests with the students' involvement in their mentors' cutting-edge research and early career exposure to the benefits associated with international cooperation on environmental and pharmacological problems.

OISE 0754138GOMEZTHIS THINIS INTERNATIONAL研究经验（IRES）活动将加州州立大学的团队与弗兰克·A·戈麦斯（Frank A. Gomez）领导的加利福尼亚州立大学 - 洛杉矶与匈牙利德布雷森大学的同行有关。 首席研究员戈麦斯和他的同事詹姆斯·陆克文（James Rudd）也在加利福尼亚州立大学，将与匈牙利合作伙伴Attila Gaspar和Lajos Daroczi合作，管理一种平衡的，基于团队的方法，可为本科生和研究生级别的学生提供固体背景的微流体背景申请。 这将通过检查化学，材料科学和化学相关学科的界面上的问题来实现这一目标，以表明科学的跨学科性质和国际协作的价值。学生和一名研究生将前往Decrecen与美国和匈牙利的导师合作，通过参与合作研究，研讨会，演讲和职业研讨会来为他们的职业发展做出贡献。 IRES计划的指导学生项目涉及：1）设计和制造微流体芯片，2）使用显微镜，阀门和泵技术测试泄漏和阻塞； 3）关于芯片和亲和力毛细管电泳（ACE）数据的实验，4）使用化学计量学进行优化研究和5）分离比较。结果应导致两种用于分析化学有用的微流体技术的改进：基于磁铁的瓣膜和色谱柱。这项美国 - 匈牙利的IRES合作实现了计划的目标，即通过使美国和欧洲的专家能够将互补才能结合在一起，并分享研究和教育资源，以在浓厚的共同利益和能力领域中分享研究和教育资源。更广泛的影响包括引入美国学生，包括从社区学院招募的学生，以及与药物诊断有关的微流体系统的国际专业知识。 IRES的教育价值在于学生参与导师的尖端研究以及早期职业生涯，以了解与国际环境和药理学问题合作相关的收益。
