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

爱琴海纳米科学和纳米技术研讨会有两个主要目标：(I)聚集一群美国研究人员和他们的外国同行，讨论和确定在四个特定纳米研究领域合作的共同优先事项和方法：(I)纳米电子学和纳米光子学；(Ii)纳米制造、纳米尺度传感器和器件；(Iii)NEMS和纳米系统；以及纳米技术应用(生物、能源、环境、人类健康)。第二个目标是为几名美国研究生提供一个获得国际研究经验的机会，通过海报演示来接触、讨论和展示他们的工作，并接触到这样一个跨学科的环境。演讲和后续讨论将展示知识，确定瓶颈，但也包括优先事项和机会，并促进美国和外国研究人员之间的互动。研讨会可以激发新的研究想法，导致新的概念和应用，这对美国研究生和初级研究人员来说是非常重要的。研讨会为交流思想和开放讨论提供了一个很好的场所和环境，使研究人员能够发表演讲？最新工作，加强努力，通过国际合作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的国际环境提供重要机会。将出版一本精英卷，其中包括所有受邀演讲、海报学生演讲和讨论总结。此外，与会者可以根据他们的陈述提交手稿，以供考虑发表在一些参考期刊上。将通过西班牙裔专业工程师协会(总部设在德克萨斯大学阿灵顿校区)来吸引代表不足的少数族裔。拟议研讨会的主题还影响到对美国具有关键技术重要性的领域，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.
