2018年8月13日到18日，应西安交通大学著名学者项目邀请，佐治亚理工学院 Alper Erturk (ASME Fellow) 教授来实验室进行学术访问和合作研究交流。Alper Erturk教授并在曲江校区西五楼的A420会议室做了“ Enhanced elastic wave energy harvesting concepts leveraging phononic crystals”学术报告。Alper Erturk是课题组在振动能量俘获和智能结构与材料研究方面的国际合作教授之一，也是研究生访学联合培养的合作老师。

    学者简介：Dr. Alper Erturk is an Associate Professor & Woodruff Faculty Fellow of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research program is centered on the intersection of smart structures and dynamical systems for various problems ranging from energy harvesting and bio-inspired actuation to metamaterials and wireless acoustic power transfer. He has published around 200 articles in archival journals and conference proceedings, 4 book chapters, and 2 books (total citations ~ 9700 and h-index: 45). Dr. Erturk is a recipient of various awards including an NSF CAREER Award (2013), an ASME Gary Anderson Early Achievement Award (2015) for early career impact in the field of adaptive structures and material systems, an ASME C.D. Mote Jr. Early Career Award (2017) for demonstrated research excellence in the field of vibration and acoustics, and two ASME Energy Harvesting Best Paper Awards (2015, 2017). He is an Associate Editor for Smart Materials & Structures (IOP), Journal of Intelligent Material Systems & Structures (SAGE), Journal of Vibration & Acoustics (ASME), and Journal of Energy Engineering (ASCE). He was an Elected Member of the ASME Technical Committee on Vibration & Sound, the Founding Chair of the ASME Energy Harvesting Technical Committee, and is currently an Elected Member of the ASME Adaptive Structures & Material Systems Branch. He served on the organization and program committees of various conferences (ASME, SPIE, PowerMEMS, etc.) and is currently the Chair for the 2018 ASME IDETC Mechanical Vibration & Noise Conference and for the 2018 SPIE Smart Structures/NDE - Active & Passive Smart Structures & Integrated Systems Conference. Dr. Erturk is a Fellow of ASME.
