The World of Nanotechnology
The Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at The University of Texas at Dallas is sponsoring a World of Nanotechnology event at 8:30am on October 20 in the TI Auditorium in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering & Computer Science on the UTD campus.
The World of Nanotechnology will showcase UTD's ground-breaking research and the commercialization efforts of local companies in the exciting new world of nanotechnology.
UTD's NanoTech Institute is a world-class research center at which UTD physicists, chemists, biologists, ceramicists, metallurgists, mathematicians and engineers collaborate with colleagues around the world to address some of the most difficult and exciting challenges of science and engineering on a nanoscale.
The morning sessions will feature the technology breakthroughs and highlight the future commercial applications of UTD research, including:
- Commercializable nanotube sheets and yarns
- Applications of nanotube sheets and yarns
- Fuel-powered artificial muscles
- Giant charge injections and their applications
- Micro-neuro transponder for neuroprosthetics
- Electronic textiles
- Nano-drug delivery system
- Forests of nano-tubes
Dr. Robert Helms, Dean of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Sciences will deliver the keynote luncheon speech. The afternoon sessions will include presentations by three local companies (Zyvex, Authentix and Raytheon) currently commercializing nanotechnologies and a panel discussion featuring leading experts in the field. The program will close with a networking reception.
The cost of the program, including lunch and a closing reception is $95. For more information, or to register, see the Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship website.
