| Abstract | The NSF IREE grant was used to support collaborative research between the Networked Control Systems Laboratory and two universities in Vietnam: Danang University of Technology and Can Tho University. PI Linda Bushnell was the main coordinator of the research efforts. PI Bushnell spent two weeks at DUT teaching UW's Math308 course to a group of 34 students. In addition, she spent one week at CTU conducting research. Jon Chen, an undergraduate student at UW, spent six weeks at CTU conducting research. Tung Pham, a graduate student at UW, spent one week at CTU conducting research. The course and the research were successful. In addition, a new graduate student from CTU, Nghi Nguyen, has started at UW for his MS program and will be working on this research with PI Bushnell. |

| Bio | Linda Bushnell received the B.S. degree and the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Connecticut in 1985 and 1987, respectively. She received the M.A. degree in mathematics and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989 and 1994, respectively. She was the Program Manager of the Systems & Control Program at the U.S. Army Research Office and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University from 1994 to 2000. In September 2000, she joined the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Washington, where she is now a Research Assistant Professor. Dr. Bushnell's research interests include networked control systems and control and sensors for hydrology applications.
Tung Pham received his BS degree and MS degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington in 2006 and 2008, respectively. He specialized in the area of embedded systems. For his graduate work, he designed and constructed a data-logging salinity sensor. He is now employed at B.E. Meyers in WA State. Jon Chen received his BS degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington in June 2008. He specialized in the area of embedded systems and control systems. He is now employed at National Instruments in Taipei, Taiwan. |
