Many emerging energy technologies offer the promise of increased
efficiency and reduced environmental impact. At the heart of these
technologies are critical scientific and engineering principles that
rely on new materials and processes. This conference seeks to highlight
the best of these advances with emphasis on nanoscale materials and
processes, reporting of basic scientific discoveries as well as new
technologies that are ripe for commercialization. As such, the
conference's unique format contains a balance between traditional
technical sessions and entrepreneurial exposure for prospective energy
start-up concepts.

The connection between nanotechnology and energy is inextricable - many
unique physical phenomena occur at the nanoscale through confinement of
allowable states of basic energy carriers (electrons, phonons, and
photons). The consequences of these nanoscale phenomena propagate across
the length scales and can be exploited to improve traditional and
develop conceptually new energy technologies. Thus, contributions that
emphasize the scale-up of nanotechnology-based solutions with promising
system-level energy performance prospects are particularly encouraged.
All submissions will be organized around five focus application areas,
which will form the main technical tracks of the conference:

Track 1 Nanotechnology for Solar Energy Utilization

Track 2 Nanotechnology for Energy Storage

Track 3 Nanotechnology for Efficient Energy Conversion

Track 4 Fundamental Issues of Nanoscale Energy Carrier Transport and Interaction

Track 5 Nanotechnology for Carbon Capture

Track 6 Industry/Commercialization Track

The conference will consist of tutorials, keynote lectures, invited
presentations, oral and poster presentations, and technical and business
panels. Abundant opportunities will be provided for communication and
collaboration among industry, academia, and venture capital
organizations.

Extended abstracts with less than 400 words and no figures are solicited
from industry and academia, with emphasis on quantitative findings
related to energy, according to the categories above. Optional full
length papers will be requested for accepted abstracts. Accepted full
papers or extended abstracts will be placed in oral and poster sessions
according to the discretion of the conference organizers. Full
peer-reviewed papers will be published in conference proceedings. One
best paper award will be selected from accepted full papers. One best
poster award will be selected from poster presentations.

English is the official language of the conference.

Purdue’s Discovery Lecture Series presentations will consist of a brief synopsis of the world today and how the biotech industry has driven change in both the healthcare world and by developments not only from its own science, but also by the changing environment of healthcare delivery and reimbursement, the different regulatory hurdles around the world, and by marketplace changes. The roughly 50 years since Watson and Crick discovered the double helix and the roughly 35 years since this industry’s origin, have produced over 10,000 biotech companies today. Industry giants like Amgen and Genentech with $100B in market capital each, to the new startups in China, India, Germany and Eastern Europe. This is an industry transforming the world and, simultaneously, being transformed by it.

Featured speakers will include:

Ted Ashburn, Genzyme Corporation
Michael Kurek, Biotechnology Business Consultants, LLC
Alan Rebar, Discovery Park
Steven Burrill, Burrill and Company
President France A. Córdova, Purdue University
Bill Miller, Stanford University
David Johnson, BioCrossroads
Roger Newton, Esperion Therapeutics

The purpose of this symposium is to bring together leading educators and researchers from university, government, and industry around the world to promote the various exciting fields of micro/nanotechnology. Representatives of university micro/nano fabrication facilities, ranging from new labs to nationally recognized facilities, have found this symposium an excellent forum for exchanging information and presenting new research and educational concepts. Government agencies such as NSF, NIH, NIST, SEMATECH, SRC, DoD and ONR regularly participate with research papers and updates on funding opportunities. Industry interactions with universities, including technology transfer, collaborative research, and training efforts are frequently presented. Included will be tours of the University of Louisville’s new $20M, 10,000 sq ft class 100/1000 cleanroom facility. This conference allows groups from academia, government labs and organizations, and industry the opportunity to network and present their latest findings/opportunities in the area of micro/nanotechnology. Keynote Speakers for 2008 include: Abbie Gregg, President of AGI (Abbie Gregg, Inc.), recognized as one of the leading cleanroom and engineering consulting firms in the world; Dr. Stephen Campbell, Professor of ECE, University of Minnesota, Director, Minnesota Nano Fabrication Center; Dr. Rajinder Khosla, National Science Foundation Program Director; and Dr. Mark Lundstrom, Professor of ECE, Purdue University, and founding director of the national NSF-funded Network for Computational Nanotechnology.

Call for Papers: Abstracts (one text page + one figure page) must be submitted electronically on the symposium web site by March 10, 2008. Authors should indicate preference for oral or poster presentation, as well as their institution and contact information. Final manuscripts (6 pages maximum) must then be submitted electronically by April 21, 2008. These manuscripts, both papers (20 minute presentation) and posters, will be published in the symposium proceedings.
