AGENDAWelcome to the University of Arizona TOURS! Tour A: Bio5Interaction and flexibility were two key concepts in the design of the spectacular BIO5 facility enabling investigators and students to carry out leading bio, chem and engineering research. Services spe-cialize in providing high-end equipment that is difficult for individual investigators to afford. Open labs, moveable equipment, and plenty of indoor/outdoor meeting spaces encourage collaboration among the 350+ faculty, research staff, and students.

Tour B: Tree Ring LabDid you know that an astronomer, Dr. A.E. Douglass, founded the modern science of dendrochronology, established right here at this UA lab? He discovered a correlation between the growth of trees and the sun-spot cycle. The Tree Ring Lab is recognized worldwide as a preeminent center for the advancement of tree-ring techniques and the broad application of dendrochro-nology in the social and environmental sciences.

Tour C: Mirror LabThis tour provides a unique opportunity to learn how innovative engineering and op-tical technology melds with manufactur-ing techniques to produce the largest and most advanced giant (8.4 meters or 27 ft) telescope mirrors in the world on the UA campus. Visitors will see the unparalleled technology and revolutionary processes involved in making the next generation of telescopes that will explore deep into outer space.

Tour D: Residence Halls Over 6,600 undergrad students and 300 grad students live on the University of Arizona campus in 23 undergraduate res-idence halls and one graduate & profes-sional student apartment complex. These “homes away from home” are located all across campus, which means no matter where a student lives, he or she is close to campus resources. We'll visit Villa Del Pu-ente Hall, located in the Highland District, housing 300 residents on 3 floors.

PLENARY SPEAKER

Dr. Bashar Rizk

“International Space Collaboration in the post-Cassini Era: OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa and the study of near-Earth Asteroids” Speaker: Dr. Bashar Rizk Title: OCAMS Instrument Scientist University of Arizona - Lunar and Planetary Laboratory OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission

The development, launch and operation of Cassini represented an unprece-dented example of international technical collaboration, but then the world changed. In the post-911 world does international technical collaboration in developing space missions have a future? Obstacles abound, but the answer may be yes: scientists, engineers and technical managers have not stopped trying to pursue international technical projects and have also shifted their emphasis to scientific, rather than technical, collaboration. In the meantime, there has been some movement at an official level to en-hance, rather than hinder, cooperation. Dr. Bashar Rizk is an OSIRIS-REx Co-Investigator and the Instrument Scientist for OCAMS at the University of Arizona’s Lunar & Planetary Labo-ratory. Previously, he served on the team that operated the Descent Imager / Spectral Radiometer (DISR) on the Huygens probe of the Cassini/Huygens mission, a mission with an unprecedented amount of international collabo-ration. He has worked in the areas of planetary atmospheres, space phys-ics, radiative transfer, space imaging instrumentation, thermal physics and stereo analysis of planetary surfaces.

He received his PhD (1991) in planetary sciences from the University of Arizona. He also holds an MS (1983) in physics from the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign and a BS (1981) in physics and chemistry from Duke University. His early work related to condensed matter physics and microwave spectroscopy.

MORNING SESSIONS

SESSION 1 10:10 - 11:00AM (Room S210)

National Autonomous University of Mexico - Tucson: A Case Study in Partnership Subject: collaboration Location: ENR2 building, Room S210 UNAM is known as one of the top universities in Latin America for aca-demic excellence and has collaborative research centers located across the globe -- with one of those here at the University of Arizona. Learn from the center's director how the partnership was formed and executed. 

SESSION 2 10:10 - 11:00AM (Room S215)

Recharging Existing Partnerships through Innovative Mobility Models Subject: mobility Location: ENR2 building, Room S215 This presentation aims to start a discussion about how partnerships are formed at different institutions and the types of mobility models that work in different contexts. We’ll share some of our success stories and ideas for future collaboration.

SESSION 3 11:10 - noon (Room S210)

UA Grad Slam: Research Presentations by UA International Students Subject: research Location: ENR2 building, Room S210 Grad Slam is a campus-wide competition for the best 3-minute talk about graduate student research and discovery.
