Nanotechnology is an exciting field with many potential applications. Its impact is already being felt in materials, engineering, electronics, medicine, and other disciplines. Current research in nanotechnology requires strong multi-disciplinary knowledge and emerging models technologies for computations in the field of nanoelectronics with promising. Nanoelectronics become the main research domain that successes in today’s microelectronics. It brings an unprecedented revolution in not only communications and computing, but also in other scientific and engineering fields such as nano-scale measurements in industrials, bioscience, medical and environmental sciences.

This is a NSF sponsored workshop on Emerging Models and Petascale Computing for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.The workshop focueses on the fundamental technologies defined in the field of computational science and engineering and applications in nanosceinec and nanotechnology, using emerging model technology and petascale computing. It touches a multidiscinplinery field that comsists of cyberinfrastructure-enabled sceintific computations (large-scale parallel algorithms on high-end systems at peta or larger scale), aimign at promoting nanosceince and nanotechnology for economic recovery and advances in scientific discovery, engineering innovation, and healthcare services.

Welcome students to attedn the worksho and learn cutting edge technologies in this domain. We encourage students from K12, undergraduate students, and graduate students to apply for our workshop fellowships. We invite and solicit top researchers, inventors, and educators to give tourous, lectures, and presentations.

Thank you for your participating, invovlement, and contributions.
