|---|---|
| Description: | The Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum is the premier venue to learn about the latest in nano research directly from the Bay Area's top research community, to hear about research and development priorities, and to discuss some of the social, economic and political implications of nanotechnology. In 2008, the theme is Prospects: from Ideal to Real, which represents nanotechnology's transition between laboratory experiments and theory to real products and widely accepted technological advances. This year's Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum features Dr. Supriyo Datta, the Thomas Duncan Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and Director of the NASA Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing, whose research focuses on electronic conduction in nanoscale devices; and Dr. Liwei Lin, a professor of Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley and Co-director of the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center, whose research is at the convergence of nano-bio-solar, using biomimetic photosynthetic electrochemical cells to produce solar power. Additionally, the Forum presents a special panel discussion of the Business of Nanotechnology, featuring Bay Area entrepreneurs and financiers. In the afternoon, there are four expert panel sessions, discussing the use of nanotechnology to improve medicine, electronics, solar energy, as well as nanotechnology�s implications in public policy. As always, the Nanotechnology Forum features a poster session with researchers from around the Bay Area presenting their cutting-edge work.
In the last few years, the Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum has had 300 - 500 attendees, representing 10 universities, national laboratories, and research institutions, and has exhibited roughly 60 posters, annually. The Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum is a student organized, annual conference held at the Haas School of Business, on the UC Berkeley Campus.
