This presentation will overview of the work of nanoMFG – the Nanomanufacturing Node at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of California, Berkeley. The nanoMFG node is a cyberinfrastructure effort of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology. The node adopts a comprehensive approach to assembling, developing, and implementing advanced cyberinfrastructure tools for research, education, and industrial deployment of integrated, nanoscale manufacturing processes and systems. The tools deployed target the needs of the nanomanufacturing community, while addressing the challenges of integrating data and models from multiple dimensional scales. We will highlight the node’s tools and cyberinfrastructure, available on the NCN Cyberplatform (nanoHUB), that connect nanomanufacturing researchers from academia and industry to share resources, data, and knowledge.

The presentation will conclude with an overview of the Gr-ResQ (‘graphene rescue’) platform. Gr-ResQ is (i) an open, crowd-sourced database of recipes and characterization of graphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, (ii) a set of analysis tools that enable users to analyze the database, and (iii) an online cyber-physical manufacturing network that provides access to distributed CVD reactors in the form of online transactions. The purpose of Gr-ResQ is to enable wide-scale sharing of data around CVD synthesis of graphene in order to advance community knowledge of the synthesis process. Gr-ResQ was developed in collaboration with the Materials Data Facility and with the Operating System for Cyberphysical Manufacturing. You may read more about Gr-ResQ here.
