Workshop Premise
The broad objective of the workshop is to showcase University of Illinois research in nanomedicine, nanoelectronics/nanophotonics, and nanomaterials/ nanomanufacturing.

The general framework of the nanotechnology workshop will be similar to those held on campus in May 2003-05; which were well attended by industry and academia. Some of those interactions have since then led to industry and cross-campus collaborations.

The workshop will provide a forum for industry interactions and collaborations. The workshop will bring together campus community (faculty, graduate and undergraduates, administration) from UIUC, UIC, UW, Purdue, and Washington University, and industry engaged in cutting-edge research. A workshop panel will discuss the roadmap to future direction of research and development in nanotechnology.

Format: The two-day workshop will be held on May 3 and 4, 2007 at the prestigious Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The workshop program will include plenary session speeches, technical sessions, panel discussion, and poster sessions, in addition to lunch and dinner receptions.

Sponsors: University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology

About Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory
The Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory (MNTL) at the College of Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is one of the nation's largest and most sophisticated university-based facilities for semiconductor, nanotechnology, and biotechnology research. The laboratory is a user facility that is available for use by university and industry from across the nation. It contains over 8,000 square feet of class 100 and class 1000 clean room laboratory and state-of-the-art ultra-high-speed optical and electrical device and circuit measurements. The bionanosystems area focuses on utilizing the various technologies developed in materials,nanofabrication, devices, MEMS and NEMS to study and solve biological issues. Biomolecular flow patterns in nanoscale channels, integration of lasers onto biochips for real-time fluorescence study of bioreactions, and implantation of active devices in cells to study cellular biochemistry are examples of research activities being carried out. Recently an $18 million expansion of the MNTL was completed, which includes provision of bionanotechnology and additional space for researchers.
