Support of Fourteenth Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience (ONR: Warfighter Performance (Code 34))
Abstract
This proposal is for partial support of travel expenses and registration fees for keynote speakers, and for partial registration fees for invited speakers and conference assistants at the Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience, Snowbird, Utah, from April 10-13, 2017.1.1 OverviewThe Foundations of Nanoscience meeting (FNANO) was established by the International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation, and Engineering in 2004 as a venue for the wide range of researchers interested in various aspects of self-assembly as it relates to nanoscience and nanotechnology. The meeting features 12 tracks covering recent work in different types ofself-assembled architectures and devices, at scales ranging from nano-scale to meso-scale.Methodologies include both experimental as well as theoretical approaches. The conference spans traditional disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, and various engineering disciplines including MEMS/NEMS systems. The emphasis is on basic, rather than applied research. Last year~s meeting attracted 190 registered participants. The attendees are active researchers from academia, industry, and government labs. Minorities, women, and persons with disabilities will be included and encouraged to participate. The high quality of the conference is ensured by: 1) Track chairs who are responsible for selection of excellent presenters with new results to share, 2) Vigorous discussions managedby the track chairs, and 3) Annual review of and changes in the track topics to keep them freshand up-to-date. Results will be disseminated via conference proceedings (in print and CD), to be provided to the attendees.Location and dates of FNANO17: Snowbird, Utah, April 10-13, 2017FNANO17 Webpage: http://www.cs.duke.edu/FNANO17/Impact and Relevance to the Navy and specifically to ONR: Nanoscience has the potential to revolutionize the development of materials, devices and detectors at themolecular scale.The prior FNANO meetings (FNANO04, FNANO05, FNANO06, FNANO07, FNANO08, FNANO09, FNANO10, FNANO11, FNANO12, FNANO13, FNANO14, FNANO 15, and FNANO16) had a significant impact on the emerging fields of nanoscience and self-assembly by bringing together leading nanoscientists and researchers working in a wide variety of areas of self-assembly.The Fourteenth Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience will have a mixture of invited talks by distinguished nanoscientists as well as contributed posters and open discussion periods to enhance attendee interaction with the goal of creating vibrantintellectual community in the area of self-assembly.
