Nanotechnology Workshops/Conferences

This workshop will consist of individual presentation and interactive discussion sessions to promote exchange of ideas, formulating areas and projects of common interest. Each presentation will be of 20 minutes duration There is also an opportunity for students (and others) to present their work in a poster session. We would be glad to support participation of up to 10 out-of-station students.

All participants are invited to submit abstracts online (oral or poster) for presentation at ICN+T 2008. Conference discussions will focus on the latest topics in nanoscience and the instrumentation used to explore the physical world at the nanometer scale. Attendees from around the world will give talks that range from measurements which emphasize the quantum aspects of matter to the uses of nanomaterials in biological systems.

Call for Abstracts Deadline: April 4, 2008

17th Biennial IEEE UGIM (University Government Industry Micro/nano) Symposium,
July 13-16, 2008, Louisville, KY

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. For more information, visit the 2008 UGIM Symposium web site at: www.louisville.edu/micronano/2008UGIM. Dr. Kevin M. Walsh, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Director of the Lutz and BRB Micro/Nanotechnology Cleanroom, University of Louisville (502) 852-0826, walsh@louisville.edu.

2008 Energy Nanotechnology International Conference

The 3rd Energy Nanotechnology International Conference will be held on August 10-14, 2008 in Jacksonville, Florida, together with the ASME Fluids, Heat Transfer, Energy, and Solar conferences. This unique conference will focus on the state-of-the-art research and development in energy-related materials, nanoscale phenomena, devices, systems, manufacturing, and commercialization.

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.
