Nanotechnology for Modeling, Imaging and Sensors September 11, 2008

Join the International Association of Nanotechnology and the Clean Tech Institute on Thursday, September 11, for a “nuts and bolts” discussion of nanotechnology modeling, micromachined ultrasonic transducers for ultrasound imaging and therapy systems and nano sensors.

Guest speaker Dr. Omer Oralkan, Senior Research Engineer with the E.L. Ginzton Laboratory of Stanford University, will discuss recent developments in micromachined sensors and actuators, as well as medical imaging. His current research focuses on the design and implementation of integrated systems for catheter-based medical imaging applications, photoacoustic imaging and chemical and biological sensor arrays.

Dr. Ayhan Mutlu, a senior member of the technical staff at Extreme DA Corporation and an adjunct professor of electrical engineering at Santa Clara University, will present an overview of nanotechnology modeling, which deals with simulation of nanofabrication processes and various types of nano-devices such as SETs, MOS transistors and nanotubes. Calibrated models enable engineers/scientists to use the nanotechnology modeling software to improve fabrication processes and the electrical characteristics of the resulting nano-devices.

IANANO will also present a brief overview of its clean tech/nanotech training programs and resources. Cost is $10/non-members; free to members. The Nano Lunch will take place from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., and will be held at IANANO headquarters, 1290 Parkmoor Ave., San Jose, CA 95126. A light lunch will be served and networking will take place before and after the presentations.
