PREMISE

Nanotechnology research and development will lead to fundamental changes in how we live and interact with our environment.   To harness the full potential of nanotechnology, fundamental research is needed to understand self-organizing molecular phenomenon and subcellular interactions among complex biological systems.  Development efforts are needed to commercialize patentable ideas, processes, and products.  This can be done through collaborative efforts among academia, industry, and policy makers.  To advance these objectives, the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) was created as a campus-wide initiative of the College of Engineering, University of Illinois.        

 CNST campus-wide multidisciplinary initiatives span the Colleges of Engineering; Agricultural Consumer and Environmental Sciences; Liberal Arts and Sciences; Medicine, Veterinary Medicine; with 75 faculty working on joint initiatives in the area of nanotechnology. The devised research strategy for the CNST includes identification of five research focus areas for nanotechnology applications: Agriculture and Food; Atmospheric and Environmental, Communications and Electronics, Computational, and Medical and Pharmaceutical. 

CNST Nanotechnology Industry Workshop is envisioned to foster a multidisciplinary collaboratory environment that will support the development and application of new nanoscale technologies in the formation, fabrication, and characterization of nanoscale materials for applications in agricultural and medical biotechnology, electronics, and optics.

 OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of the workshop is to:

Provide an introduction to CNST and its interdisciplinary approach to nanotechnology research- from materials to devices to systems;

Provide a forum for industry interactions and collaborations

KEY NOTE SPEAKER BIO

JAMES S. MURDAY:

Dr. Murday received a B.S. in Physics from Case Western Reserve in 1964, and a Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from Cornell in 1970.  He joined the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in 1970 and has been Superintendent of its Chemistry Division since 1988.   From 1974 to 1987 he served as program officer and consultant to the physics program of the Office of Naval Research (ONR), with a focus on surface/interface physics and nanoscience/nanotechnology.  From May to August 1997 he served as Acting Director of Research for the Department of Defense, Research and Engineering.  He is a member of the AVS: the Science and Technology Society, the American Physical Society, the American Chemical Society and the Materials Research Society.  For the AVS, he has served as trustee for 1981-1984, director for 1986-1988, representative to the American Institute of Physics Governing Board 1986-1992, president for 1991-93, and representative to the Federation of Materials Societies.  Under his direction, both the AVS and the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technology and Applications have created a Nanometer Science/Technology Division.  His personal research interests include interface analysis, surface modification technology and science/technology of nanometer structures.
