REPORT ON BELGIUM VISIT DURING THE POSTDOCTORAL

RESEARCH OF Dr. N.RAJINI


Myself Rajini Nagarajan working as an Associate professor in Department of Mechanical
Engineering, Kalasalingam University. I have been selected for doing my Postdoctoral research
in Laboratory Soete, Ghent University, Belgium under CWO funding scheme. Laboratory Soete
is one of the world famous large scale measurement unit. Most of the famous bearing industries
like igus are regular consultant in this laboratory. Professor Dr. Patrick de Bates, Vice-Dean and
Head of the Department of Mechanical and Production who is one of the leading tribologist in
Europe guided me throughout my research period. During this period, I have given the four
series of frequent lectures about the common facilities in Kalasalingam University, facilities in
International research center and current research in natural fiber composites on the occasion of
tribo-club meeting. The following outcomes have been achieved from this three month visit to
Belgium.
1. I am in the process of preparing 3 papers (one international conference at Hungary + two
international journal papers) from the outcome of my completed quantum of research during this
period.
2. Two levels of discussion has been completed with the Vice-Dean of Ghent University
regarding the MoU between Kalasalingam and Ghent universities. Based on the video
conference meeting between the Vice-Dean of Ghent University and our VC and Dean
International relations, the modification of MoU document is in progress with Vice-dean of
Ghent University.
3. Three of the researchers from Laboratory soete (including my Promoter Prof. Patrick De Baets
(Vice Dean)) are agreed to visit our university during the occasion of international conference or
Workshop.

5. One of the postdoc researcher from laboratory soete, Ghent University Dr. Jacob Sukumaran
has already given his concerned to handle the course Wear, friction and service life in
engineering design for B.tech students ( He has already designed the syllabus of this course)
especially those who are going to appear for their honors.
6. And also, I have submitted the copy of our Mou to another university in Hungary, i.e,
University of West Hungary. The memorandum already been submitted to the vice-rector for
