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)将一组美国科学家和他们的外国同行聚集在一起，在四个特定的纳米研究领域解决、讨论和确定共同的优先事项和合作方法；纳米制造、纳米传感器和器件；NEMS和纳米系统；纳米技术应用（生物、能源、环境、人类健康）。第二个目标是为几位美国研究生提供一个获得国际研究经验的机会，通过海报展示会面，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、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思路，从而产生对美国研究生和初级研究人员至关重要的新概念和应用。研讨会为交流思想和公开讨论提供了一个良好的场所和环境，允许研究人员进行介绍。最新的工作，通过国际合作，增加了推进该领域研究前沿的努力。讲习班将为人力资源开发和研究生教育、培训和接触跨学科国际环境提供重要机会。将出版一本精英册，包括所有受邀演讲、海报学生演讲和讨论摘要。此外，参与者可以根据他们的演讲提交手稿，以考虑在一些参考期刊上发表。吸引未被充分代表的少数民族将通过西班牙裔专业工程师协会（位于德克萨斯大学阿灵顿校区）来追求。提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.
