U.S.-India Advanced Studies Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering

0732645 GanapathiRamanath美国-印度纳米科学与工程高级研究所将于2008年1月13日至19日在印度金奈举行。 组织者是G教授。Ramanath，伦斯勒理工学院，特洛伊，纽约和S。Ramasamy，马德拉斯大学，印度钦奈。 Ramanath是伦斯勒纳米技术中心的材料科学家和工程师; Ramasamy是金奈新成立的纳米科学和纳米技术中心的物理学家和协调员。 Nanoscale Advanced Studies Institute将汇集来自美国和印度的世界级高级研究人员，提供最先进的讲座，涵盖纳米科学和工程的科学，技术，教育和社会方面。 来自美国的参与者人数约为25人，包括高级研究生，博士后研究人员，早期职业教师和行业研究人员。 成立该研究所的目的是就纳米科学和工程学科的基本主题和前沿发展进行高度互动的交流，这项活动旨在激发学生对纳米科学和工程的兴趣，加强两国科学和工程界之间的联系，并在2005年《美国-印度科学技术协定》规定的共同感兴趣的领域加强科技合作。 该高级研究所的资金由国际科学与工程办公室和国家科学基金会工程局以及印度政府科学技术部（DST）根据NSF-DST联合方案提供。

0732645Ganapathiraman Ramanath The U.S.-India Advanced Studies Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering will take place in Chennai, India from January 13-19, 2008. The organizers are Professors G. Ramanath, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York and S. Ramasamy, University of Madras, Chennai, India. Ramanath is a materials scientist and engineer at the Rensselaer Nanotechnology Center; Ramasamy is a physicist and Coordinator for the newly established Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Chennai. The Nanoscale Advanced Studies Institute will bring together world-class senior researchers from the U.S. and India to deliver state-of-the-art lectures covering scientific, techno-logical, educational and societal aspects of nanoscience and engineering. The participants from the U.S. number about 25 and include advanced graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, early-career faculty and industry researchers. The Institute is organized to generate highly interactive exchanges on fundamental topics and cutting-edge developments across a broad set of nanoscience and engineering disciplines.This activity is intended to stimulate student interest in nanoscale science and engineering, strengthen the connections between the science and engineering communities in both countries, and enhance S&T collaboration in areas of mutual interest as set-forth in the United States-India Science & Technology Agreement of 2005. Funding for this Advanced Studies Institute is provided by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Directorate for Engineering at the National Science Foundation and by the Government of India's Department of Science and Technology (DST) under the NSF-DST Joint Program.
