Virtual international 1xbet online sports betting provides insight on next-generation ceramic composites for aero, defense industry
The third annual NSF-PIRE-PDC 1xbet online sports betting , created by K-State Carl R. Ice College of Engineering faculty member Gurpreet Singh, was hosted Aug. 17–20 in a virtual-only format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
1xbet online sports betting seminars included topics related to polymer-derived ceramics and additive manufacturing of high-temperature ceramic matrix composite, or CMC, materials for aerospace applications.
The novel materials produced through the National Science FoundationPartnerships for International 1xbet online sports betting and Education, or PIRE, project are relevant for a wide variety of defense applications ranging from electronic sensors to engine blades and rocket nozzles. Many workshop registrants were from aero and defense industries, including Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, HRL Laboratories, Starfire Systems, Raytheon United Technologies and Sierra Turbines. In addition, scientists from the Air Force 1xbet online sports betting Laboratories and program officers of government funding agencies such as AFOSR and NSF attended the workshop to share their 1xbet online sports betting findings and learn about the applications of CMC materials, respectively.
The workshop hours allowed for maximum interaction from researchers worldwide, as faculty members and students from France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan and Spain virtually presented their 1xbet online sports betting . Representatives from academia and industry had ample opportunities to conduct in-depth discussions, with a specific focus on translating academic 1xbet online sports betting to meet industrial needs.
The workshop also highlighted student 1xbet online sports betting and accomplishments. Graduate students in the PIRE project showed most of the presentations on the first day of the workshop, while the last day was dedicated to undergraduate student presentations. A total of eight undergraduate students — including two female students co-sponsored by the Women in Engineering program from the K-State mechanical and nuclear engineering department, Maren Ellis and Porter Herold — were part of the PIRE summer project.
Most undergraduate students gained exposure to their summer 1xbet online sports betting topics through scientific literature reviews, while a few conducted limited 1xbet online sports betting in laboratory settings. Although most undergraduate students did not have extensive hands-on training in laboratory settings, they gained an in-depth theoretical knowledge of their 1xbet online sports betting project. Because some participating undergraduate students plan to return to the PIRE project next summer for 1xbet online sports betting abroad experience, the groundwork for next summer's 1xbet online sports betting has already been laid.
The virtual 1xbet online sports betting platform was a major draw to students, scientists and engineers — nearly half the registrants were first-time participants, with twice the overall attendance numbers from previous workshops.
"I expected a bigger turnout than the previous year, but the registration numbers from this year's workshop were astounding," Singh said. "This just goes to show how many are interested in our project, and that the field is growing. We are grateful for the opportunity to establish PDC 1xbet online sports betting in the U.S. and collaborate with academia and industry across the globe."
Singh, the Harold O. and Jane C. Massey Neff associate professor at the College of Engineering and principal investigator, was awarded the NSF PIRE grant for his work on polymer derived ceramics, or PDCs, in 2018. The grant was awarded to Singh for his work on new ceramics made 1xbet online sports betting silicon-based polymers. The .7 million grant is currently in its third year, with funding available for five years.
"I am very excited for the future of PDCs and the camaraderie that being part of such a huge collaboration brings," Singh said.
