1123627 PI JhonThe PI will organize the eighth forum on nanotechnology for sustainability between the United States and Korea, to be held on April 4-5, 2011 at Caltech. The first forum, held in Seoul in 2003 covered a broad range of topics in nanotechnology. The second forum covered topical issues including nanomanufacturing research and education. The third forum dealt with active nano-devices and systems, and covered the impact of nanotechnology on society and environment. The fourth forum addressed topics in sustainable nano-energy focusing on the design and characterization of nano-materials as well as devices and systems. The fifth forum focused on the emerging area of nano-biotechnology emphasizing novel nano-biomaterials, instrumentation, and integrated systems in biomedicine and delivery of healthcare as well as environmental, health & safety issues. The sixth forum dealt with fundamentals in nano-electronics, its fusion with bio- and energy-technology and their applications. The seventh forum oversaw discussions ranging in nanotechnology convergence in energy technologies. In the eighth forum, the PI will further empower a common platform for scientists and engineers from both countries to accommodate urgent technology issues in climate change mitigation, sustainable management of water and other natural resources. The PI will be the organizer in collaboration with Mamadou Diallo from Caltech for the U.S. participation, which will include 14 senior presenters and six additional early-career participants (underrepresented minorities will be strongly encouraged), and a roughly equal number of Korean presenters will also participate. This forum will actively encourage partnerships in nanotechnology for sustainability promising to have a huge impact in nanoscience, in addition to strengthening achievements and assessing the progress on recommendations made during the previous seven forums. The PI also aims to focus on exchanging young scientists. The forum proceedings and findings will be published on Carnegie Mellon's website and will be available to a broad audience in a special issue journal publication.This proposed forum will promote the exchange of research, education, and policy between the two countries in the emerging area of nanotechnology for sustainability. The novel contribution, in contrast to previous forums, is the focus on challenges faced in the latest applications of water reuse, green chemistry and sustainable mineral resources as well as resolving these issues to the fullest extent in the immediate future. In terms of the broader impacts, this forum will promote collaborative initiatives between industry, government, and academia in the two countries which will have a huge contribution to society and global education in a broader sense. The aim of this Forum is to promote and introduce the timely technology in sustainability research by addressing mutually beneficial needs of two countries such as water reuse, climate change, and food & natural resources. Since these important topics require a paradigm shift via introduction of nanotechnology, the PI will publish the content of the Forum in a special issue of Journal of Nanoparticle Research for extensive outreach to scientific community.

1123627 PI JhonThe PI将于2011年4月4日至5日在加州理工学院举办第八届美国和韩国纳米技术可持续发展论坛。 2003年在首尔举行的第一届论坛涵盖了纳米技术的广泛主题。第二个论坛涵盖了纳米制造研究和教育等主题。第三个论坛讨论了有源纳米器件和系统，并涵盖了纳米技术对社会和环境的影响。第四次论坛讨论了可持续纳米能源的主题，重点是纳米材料以及装置和系统的设计和特性。第五届论坛侧重于纳米生物技术的新兴领域，强调新的纳米生物材料，仪器，生物医学和医疗保健以及环境，健康安全问题的交付集成系统。第六次论坛讨论了纳米电子学的基本原理、纳米电子学与生物和能源技术的融合及其应用。第七届论坛监督了关于能源技术中纳米技术融合的讨论。在第八届论坛上，PI将进一步为两国科学家和工程师提供一个共同平台，以解决减缓气候变化、水资源和其他自然资源可持续管理方面的紧迫技术问题。PI将与加州理工学院的Mamadou Diallo合作组织美国的参与，其中将包括14名高级演讲者和6名额外的早期职业参与者（强烈鼓励代表性不足的少数民族），以及大致相同数量的韩国演讲者也将参加。该论坛将积极鼓励在纳米技术的可持续发展的伙伴关系，有希望在纳米科学产生巨大的影响，除了加强成就和评估在前七个论坛期间提出的建议的进展。PI还致力于青年科学家的交流。 论坛的会议记录和研究结果将在卡内基梅隆大学的网站上发表，并将在特刊上向广大读者提供。这个拟议中的论坛将促进两国在新兴的纳米技术可持续发展领域的研究、教育和政策交流。与以前的论坛不同，这次论坛的新贡献是重点关注水再利用、绿色化学和可持续矿产资源的最新应用所面临的挑战，以及在不久的将来最大限度地解决这些问题。就更广泛的影响而言，该论坛将促进两国产业、政府和学术界之间的合作，这将在更广泛的意义上为社会和全球教育做出巨大贡献。该论坛的目的是通过解决两国的互利需求，如水资源再利用，气候变化和粮食自然资源，促进和介绍可持续发展研究中的及时技术。由于这些重要的主题需要通过引入纳米技术实现范式转变，PI将在《纳米粒子研究杂志》的特刊上发表论坛内容，以便广泛宣传科学界。
