ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003 and Advanced Materials Workshop to be held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, August 24 - 29, 2003

巴勃罗，胡安J.U，威斯康星州-麦迪逊“ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003和先进材料研讨会，巴亚尔特港，墨西哥，2003年8月24 - 29日” 应用统计物理学会议（ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003）将于2003年8月24日至29日在墨西哥瓦拉尔塔港的Krystal酒店举行。 会议将分为七个平行的专题讨论会，主题是：1）复杂流体：平衡和动力学2）纳米生物技术3）纳米科学4）量子工程5）催化剂和自组装制备的纳米多孔材料6）石油组学：从石油组成到商业现实7）材料表征技术和纳米技术每个专题讨论会将包括一个主题演讲和几个特邀演讲。 大约40篇投稿论文将提交给每个专题讨论会，此外，数百篇论文将提交海报展示。更广泛的影响：ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003会议将集中讨论分子工程中一些令人兴奋和及时的主题。 更具体地说，将在会议上讨论的领域包括纳米管和富勒烯，磁性纳米结构，纳米电路和纳米光刻，超分子化学和材料，聚合物，基因传递，自组装，受限复杂流体，离子通道，受限流体动力学，相变和分层材料以及催化剂（和纳米催化）的分子设计。 这些都是及时和高度可见的研究领域。由于会议在墨西哥举行，将吸引相当多的拉丁美洲和欧洲研究人员。其大小、结构和伴随的组成可能会促进来自世界各地的科学家和工程师在纳米技术、分子工程和统计物理学等一般领域的相互作用。

De Pablo, Juan J.U of Wisconsin - Madison"ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003 and Advanced Materials Workshop, Puerto Vallarte, Mexico, August 24 - 29, 2003" The Applied Statistical Physics Conference (ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003) will take place from August 24 - 29, 2003 at the Hotel Krystal in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It will be subdivided into seven parallel symposia.The topics are:1) Complex Fluids: Equilibrium and Dynamics2) Nanobiotechnology3) Nanoscience4) Quantum Engineering5) Catalysts and nanoporous material prepared by self-assembly6) Petroleomics: From Petroleum Composition to Commercial Realty7) Materials Characterization Techniques and NanotechnologyEach symposia will include a keynote lecture and several invited lectures. Approximately forty contributed papers will be submitted to each of the symposia, and in addition, several hundred papers will be submitted for poster presentations. Broader Impacts: The ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003 Conference will focus on a number of exciting and timely topics in Molecular Engineering. More specifically, the areas that will be addressed at the meeting include nano-tubes and fullerenes, magnetic nano-structures, nano-circuits and nanolithography, supramolecular chemistry and materials, polymers, gene-delivery, self-assembly, confined complex fluids, ionic channels, dynamics of confined fluids, phase transitions and layered materials and molecular design of catalysts (and nano-catalysis). These are all timely and highly visible areas of research. By virtue of taking place in Mexico, the meeting will attract a considerable number of Latin American and European researchers. The size, structure, and attendant composition are likely to foster increased interactions between scientists and engineers from around the world in the general areas of nanotechnology, molecular engineering, and statistical physics.
