Seventh International conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels

0903301 Kandlikar第七届纳米通道、微通道和小型通道国际会议将于2009年6月22日至24日在韩国浦项的POSTECH -浦项科技大学举行。多年来，自2002年成立以来，该会议系列吸引了来自不同国家不同学科的许多领先研究人员，成为首屈一指的国际论坛。智力优势。该会议旨在为研究人员提供一个平台，以交流信息，并确定这一新兴领域的研究需求，其中包括许多工程和生物医学学科。主要目标是提供一个多学科论坛，以促进和加快在许多不同领域的基本理解和应用方面的进展。更广泛的影响。会议的国际性质对全球互动的目的对每个人都非常有益。本次会议将支持一些学生以及新兴和主要领导人谁是出席会议。重点是争取代表性不足的群体参与。与去年一样，会议还将举办一个由学生组织的特别学生论坛。论坛将介绍学生对这一新兴领域的研究需求和机会的看法。这将是一种角色转换;研究人员将向学生提出问题，学生将从他们的角度回答。这将有助于培养学生的研究领导技能，因为他们准备通过研究创新来领导努力。

0903301KandlikarThe Seventh International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels organized under ASME sponsorship, will be held June 22-24, 2009, at the POSTECH - Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang, South Korea. Over the years, since its inception in 2002, this conference series has attracted many leading researchers from diverse disciplines working in different countries becoming a premiere international forum. Intellectual Merit. The conference is intended to provide a platform for researchers to exchange information and identify research needs in this emerging area that encompasses many engineering and bio-medical disciplines. The main objective is to provide a multi-disciplinary forum to promote and expedite progress on fundamental understanding and applications in many different fields. Broader Impacts. The international nature of the meeting is highly beneficial to everyone for purposes of global interaction. This conference will support a number of students as well as emerging and key leaders who are attending the conference. Emphasis is given to solicit participation from underrepresented groups. Just as last year, the conference will also host a Special Student Forum that will be organized by students. The forum will present students' perspectives on the research needs and opportunities in this emerging field. This will be somewhat of a role reversal; researchers will ask the students questions and the students will answer from their perspectives. This will help develop research leadership skills of the students, as they prepare to lead efforts through research innovation.
