MSU's Christopher Contag signed an agreement on an exchange of graduate students and held in-depth Q&A sessions on educational and research opportunities during a ceremony on June 5.
Attending with Contag was Assaf Gilad, professor of biomedical engineering and radiology, Taeho Kim, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, and Mary Anne Walker, director of International Programs in the College of Engineering.
In Korea, they visited the Department of Fusion Engineering at the School of Integrative Engineering, College of ICT Engineering, Chung-Ang University.
Walker said the trip advanced research collaborations with Chung-Ang University and helped make plans for an exchange of students, scholars, and joint research endeavors.
"Chris Contag was a keynote speaker at the Korean Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine KTERMS 2019 Conference on Jeju Island on June 7," Walker said. "Other speakers at the conference included Dr. Gilad and Dr. Kim, and colleagues from Chung-Ang University on the panel."
Walker's role included developing research collaborations with MSU and facilitated new research with Michigan's University Research Corridor.
"The College of Engineering would like to thank the Asian Studies Center and International Studies and Programs for its generous support of strategic partnership grant funding," Walker added.
