During the recent ForesSAT Meeting hosted at UMD, Dean Ball, Professors Chris Justice, Shunlin Liang and Chengquan Huang met with Tao Guo, Vice President of Beijing PIESAT Information Technology and Nang Meng from EMDO US to discuss cooperation towards enhancing our undergraduate study abroad experience in China and developing a research fellowship program. Last year, EMDO US contributed funds to help our students pay for a China Study  Abroad experience. The discussion was wide ranging and included strengthening cooperation with Wuhan University which receives a large donation from PIESAT. PIESAT is a major image processing software company in China and had a booth at the recent ForestSAT Meeting. EMDO is a US-based partner company.
