From February 22nd to February 24th, the well-known professor from Wright State University of the United States, Grundy Ramana visited the Baoding campus of North China Electric Power University at the invitation from the associate professor of the Mechanical Engineering School of North China Electric Power University, Duan Wei.

On the morning of February 23rd, professor Grundy conducted the in-depth exchanges in matters such as the joint training and exchange visits of students and the delivery of visiting scholars, and reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Wu Yanjun and Hou Liqun, the deputy directors of the Division of International Cooperation, and the leaders of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Automation. After that, professor Grundy visited the State Key Laboratory of Alternate Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources (NCEPU) and the Engineering Technology Research Center of the Power Generation Process Simulation and Optimization Control of Hebei province.

On the afternoon of February 23rd, professor Grundy had an informal discussion with Fan Xiaoliang, the director of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, on the joint training of the undergraduates and postgraduates, etc., and then visited the National Engineering Training Center of our university and the Transmission Line Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and subsequently delivered an academic report whose topic is “Design Under Uncertainty with Physics-based Models—Laser Peening Study” for the teachers and students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Through Ramana Grundy's visit, the intention for the joint training of the undergraduates and postgraduates has been initially identified at both sides of North China Electric Power University (NCEPU) and Wright State University (WSU) and the possible cooperation mode has been discussed, too. Ramana Grundy’s visit to NCEPU is of significant importance to the in-depth cooperation in the personnel training, the scientific research and other aspects between our university and Wright State University.

Note: Ramana Grundy is currently the vice-president of the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Wright State University and also the fellow of the ASME and the AIAA, working as an internationally famous expert in the field of multidisciplinary analysis and optimization, and acting as the deputy editor of the magazines -Journal of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, AIAA Journal, Automation of Design, Analysis and Manufacturing, and also the journal editorial board member of a number of international magazines. Since 2014, professor Grundy has been mainly responsible for the work such as the international cooperation and postgraduate training of the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Wright State University. And professor Grundy's research area includes the multidisciplinary analysis and optimization, structural dynamics, probabilistic mechanics and finite element method, having published over 400 academic papers and monographs in the internationally renowned journals and the famous international conferences.
