Aegean Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ANN) Workshop; Rhodes, Greece; July, 2009

爱琴纳米科学和纳米技术研讨会有两个主要目标：（i）汇集一批美国研究人员和他们的外国同行，以解决，讨论和确定共同的优先事项和方法，在四个具体的纳米研究领域的合作：（i）纳米电子学和纳米光子学;（ii）纳米纤维，纳米传感器和设备;（iii）NEMS和纳米系统;和纳米技术应用（生物，能源，环境，人类健康）。 第二个目标是提供一个机会，几个美国研究生获得国际研究经验，满足，讨论和通过海报展示他们的工作，并接触到这样一个跨学科的环境。 演讲和后续讨论将介绍知识，确定瓶颈，但也优先事项和机会，并培养美国和外国研究人员之间的互动。 该研讨会可以激发新的研究思路，从而产生新的概念和应用，这对美国研究生和初级研究人员至关重要。 研讨会为交流思想和公开讨论提供了一个极好的场所和环境，使研究人员能够发表演讲。最新的工作，通过国际合作加强努力，推进这一领域的研究前沿。 讲习班将为人力资源开发和研究生教育、培训以及接触跨学科国际环境提供重要机会。 一个精英卷将与所有邀请的演讲，海报学生演讲和讨论摘要出版。 此外，参与者可以根据他们的演讲提交手稿，供考虑发表到一些参考期刊。 吸引代表性不足的少数民族将通过西班牙裔专业工程师协会（设在UT阿灵顿校区）进行。 拟议的研讨会的主题也影响到对美国至关重要的技术领域，包括微电子，纳米技术和生物工程。

AbstractThe Aegean Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Workshop has two main objectives: (i) to bring together a group of US researchers and their foreign counterparts to address, discuss and identify common priorities and approaches for collaboration on four specific nanoscale research areas: (i) Nanoelectronics and Nanophotonics; (ii) Nanofabrication, Nanoscale Sensors and Devices; (iii) NEMS and Nanosystems; and Nanotechnology Applications (Bio, Energy, Environment, Human Health). The second objective is to provide an opportunity to several US graduate students to gain international research experience, meet, discuss and present their work via poster presentations and be exposed to such an interdisciplinary environment. The presentations and follow up discussions will present knowledge, identify bottlenecks but also priorities and opportunities and nurture interactions between US and foreign researchers. The workshop can stimulate new research ideas leading to novel concepts and applications that will be of utmost importance to US graduate students and junior researchers. The workshop provides an excellent venue and environment for the exchange of ideas and open discussions that allow for the presentation of the researchers? latest work, augmenting efforts to advance the research frontiers in this field via international collaborations. The workshop will provide a significant opportunity for human resource development and graduate education, training and exposure to an interdisciplinary international environment. An elite volume will be published with all invited presentations, poster student presentations and discussion summaries. In addition, participants can submit manuscripts based on their presentations for consideration for publication to a number of referred journals. Attraction of underrepresented minorities will be pursuit through the Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers (housed on UT Arlington campus). The theme of the proposed workshop also impacts fields of critical technological importance to the U.S. including microelectronics, nanotechnology, and bioengineering.
