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.
