Interdisciplinary Symposium on Advanced Nano/Biosystems (Design, Fabrication, Characterization)
Nano/bio systems have emerged as highly interdisciplinary research areas in the last few decades, spanning physics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, and material science. Synergizing material design, device fabrication, and system characterization from the nanoscale is of fundamental interest. The Interdisciplinary Symposium on Advanced Nano/Biosystems: Design, Fabrication, and Characterization aims to provide a stimulating discussing forum for recent advances in material design, fabrication and characterization techniques, including experiments, theories, computations, and modeling. Specifically, the presentations include:
- Nanopore sequencing of DNA
- Rational Design of Mega-Dalton Scale DNA-based Light-Harvesting Antennas
- Graphene Synthesis from Biochar Using Wet Chemical Treatment Process
- Computational Microscopy for Health and Technology
- The spectacular Nano-structured Attachment of Tendon to Bone and our Apalling Attempts to Reconstitute it.
- Metal and Semiconductor Nanoparticles Supported on Graphene for Energy Conversion and Heterogeneous Catalysis
- Stretchy Electronics that can Dissolve in your Body
- Fluidic Nanoprobes for In Vivo Single Cell Studies
- Multi-function Semiconductor Membranes with Nanopores for Bio-molecule Sensing and Manipulation
- A Microfluidic Approach for Cocrystallization of Drugs and Analysis via X-ray Diffraction
- Microcapsules for Luminescent Tracking and Controlled Drug Delivery
Computational Microscopy for Health and Technology
This presentation discusses how computational biology and modeling can contribute to the development of biomedical devices and the bioengineering industry and provides some examples of where this method has been successful.
