Details are posted at <a href="http://www.boulder.nist.gov/div853/Nanoscale_Reliability_workshop/index.htm" title="http://www.boulder.nist.gov/div853/Nanoscale_Reliability_workshop/index.htm">http://www.boulder.nist.gov/div853/Nanoscale_Reliability_workshop/index....</a>.</p> <p>The purpose of the workshop is to bring together recognized experts in a wide variety of fields, representing the multidisciplinary nature of nanoscience, to discuss MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION and MODELING ISSUES of critical importance to ASSESSING and IMPROVING the MECHANICAL RELIABILITY of extremely fine-scale materials. One goal of the workshop is the creation of a roadmap for nanoscale characterization and modeling techniques for the next 5 to 10 years.</p> <p>The workshop will feature about 8 plenary talks. Confirmed speakers to date include:</p> <p>Greg Blackman, DuPont<br /> Anne Dillon, National Renewable Energy Laboratory<br /> George Fitzgerald, Accelrys<br /> Dave Larsen, Imago<br /> George Pharr, Oak Ridge National Laboratory<br /> George Thompson, Intel<br /> Ed Webb, Sandia National Laboratories</p> <p>Attendees are invited to: present a very brief oral summary of their research on nanomaterial characterization and/or modeling, highlighting its relevance to the design and fabrication of reliable nanomaterials and nanostructures; display a poster on their research; and participate in panel discussions led by the plenary speakers.</p> <p>The organizing committee includes:<br /> Robert Keller, National Institute of Standards and Technology<br /> David Read, National Institute of Standards and Technology<br /> Martin Dunn, University of Colorado<br /> Richard Vinci, Lehigh University</p> <p>The workshop is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the University of Colorado, and the National Science Foundation.</p> <p>Please contact Dave Read (<a href="mailto:read@boulder.nist.gov">read@boulder.nist.gov</a>) to reserve a spot as soon as you are able to forecast your attendance. Participation will be limited to ensure a good environment for discussion.</p></p> <br class="clear" /> http://www.imechanica.org/node/1426#comments conference nanomaterials nanomechanics reliability Sat, 19 May 2007 21:20:58 -0400 Richard Vinci 1426 at http://www.imechanica.org
