NCN NEMS Workshop

NEMS Workshop: Challenges and Opportunities in the Development of Nanoelectromechanical Systems

Nems Workshop 2005 The Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) is holding a workshop entitled Challenges and Opportunities in the Development of Nanoelectromechanical Systems on April, 8, 2005. The workshop will be held at the Entrepreneurship Center at Purdue University and will feature presentations and discussion on current efforts to understand nanoscale phenomena that are expected to be important in the development of NEMS devices. The goals of the workshop are to bring together experimental and computational experts in the areas of nanofluidics, nanoelectronics, and thermal transport in nanoscale systems to present the results of their work, explore collaborative opportunities, and discuss strategies for developing NEMS devices. Attendance is free but is limited to 50 people.

There will be seven speakers from outside of NCN and three speakers from inside NCN. The workshop will begin at 8 am and end around 5 pm.
