Meeting Notice: The SCV IEEE/EMC and the Product Safety Society present:
An Overview of Recent Developments in Nanotechnology. Time: 5:30 Social, 7:00 Presentation Place: Applied Materials Building 27, 3135 Kifer Road, Santa Clara CA. All Welcome, No entrance fee, IEEE membership not required to attend. We will also Vote for Officers for the Year 2003 on Tuesday, December 10, 2002, Time: 5:30 Social, 7:00 Presentation An Overview of Recent Developments in Nanotechnology Speaker: Dr. Meyya Meyyappan, Director, Center for Nanotechnology (NASA) Abstract: An Overview of Recent Developments in Nanotechnology Nanotechnology deals with creation of functional materials, devices and systems in the nanoscale through exploiting novel properties (electrical, physical, chemicalÂ…) arising solely due to the nanoscale. This is a broad enabling technology with expected impact on materials and manufacturing, electronics and computing, health and medicine, energy, transportation, national security and space exploration. The basic science and applications are of great deal of interest to the IEEE community. This talk will provide an overview of novel nanoelectronics concepts based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and molecular electronics, nanosensors and detectors, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), nanoscale materials and fabrication techniques. Please join us and welcome Dr. Meyyappan who will provide you with a glimpse into this new exciting field of Nanotechnology. As usual, the December meeting will include Holiday snacks. Biography of Dr. M. Meyyappan Dr. M. Meyyappan is the IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Nanotechnology Council. He is the Director of the Center for Nanotechnology at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, CA. His Nanotechnology center, established in 1997, consists of about 50 scientists working on various aspects of Nanotechnology including carbon nanotubes for nanoelectronics, sensors and detectors, molecular electronics, inorganic nanowires for sensors and devices, protein nanotubes, Nanotechnology in gene sequencing, quantum computing, computational Nanotechnology, computational quantum electronics and optoelectronics. His center has strong academic ties through programs for undergraduate and high school interns, and visiting faculty and graduate students. For further information, please visit the web site Web: http://www.ipt.arc.nasa.gov Dr. MeyyappanÂ’s research interests include nanoelectronics, nanodevices and sensors, CVD and plasma CVD approaches for growth of nanotubes and inorganic nanowires. He has published over 80 papers in refereed journals including 25 in Nanotechnology related subjects and has given over 50 Invited, Plenary and Keynote talks and Invited seminars in the last four years. He is a member of the Interagency Working Group on Nanotechnology (IWGN), which is responsible for the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). He is the IEEE Nanotechnology Council Distinguished Lecturer. He is also the Conference Chair for the IEEE Nano2003 Conference to be held in San Francisco in August 2003. He has a Ph.D. from Clarkson University and is a member of IEEE, AVS, MRS, and ECS. He is on the Editorial Board of Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
