Joint Nanotechnology Forum to Focus on Electronics, Photonics, Renewable Energy
Applications
of nanotechnology to electronics, photonics and renewable energy will
be the focus of a joint forum to be held from August 10 to 14, 2009 at
McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. An innovation workshop will also
be presented in conjunction with the event.
The 4th
Nano and Giga Challenges Symposium and Summer School and the 14th
Canadian Semiconductor Technology Conference will bring together two
well-established conference series to address challenges in
nanotechnology. The forum is co-chaired by professors Peter Mascher and
John Preston of the faculty of engineering at McMaster University,
Stephen Goodnick, associate vice-president of Arizona State University,
and Anatoli Korkin, president of Nano and Giga Solutions Inc.
More
than 500 delegates from over 40 countries are expected to participate.
Some 60 renowned technical leaders from top Canadian, U.S. and
international research centers have already accepted invitations to
present their research. Among them are leading scientists from Corning,
IBM T.J. Watson Research Centre, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
Los Alamos National Laboratory, McGill University, McMaster University,
National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Purdue University, Technical
University Munich, University of Cambridge, University of Hong Kong,
University of Manchester, University of Tokyo and other leading
national, academic and industrial research centers.
“The
natural synergy of scientific and technological problems of
electronics, photonics and renewable energy based on commonly used
materials, such as semiconductors, ceramics and organic polymers will
stimulate cross-disciplinary exchanges of ideas and potential
solutions,” said Dr. Mascher. “Technology and business leaders will be
able to accelerate the transfer of ideas from ‘lab to fab’ and to use
the meeting as a convenient way to review new developments and
innovations.”
The conferences will include tutorial
lectures, plenary reviews, group sessions, exhibitions, and satellite
workshops. A diversified social program will provide multiple
opportunities for information exchange and networking at McMaster
University, which borders on Lake Ontario, the Royal Botanical Gardens
and the Niagara Escarpment.
Innovation at the Edges, a
summit workshop for investors and entrepreneurs looking to develop
breakthrough technologies, will be led by Rafik Loutfy, director of the
Xerox Centre for Engineering Entrepreneurship and Innovation at
McMaster University and Raouf Loutfy, president of MERC Corp. in
Arizona. The workshop will discuss opportunities to commercialize
technology, emerging trends and future research directions, moving
nanotechnology innovation from the research lab to market, and moving
nanotechnology across borders.
