Archive for 1997 Conference:
Tutorial on Critical Enabling Technologies for Nanotechnology
Wednesday, Nov. 5, 1997, Hyatt Hotel, Palo
Alto, California
General
The last few years have seen rapid technological advances
in atomic scale manipulation of complex materials systems.
The ability of a variety of computational tools to simulate
energetic, dynamic and electronic properties of atomic
systems has also increased considerably. This tutorial will
provide an introduction and overview of four relevant fields,
as well as a consideration of how the advances in each will
address the challenges raised by the design of any molecular
manufacturing system. Those with science, engineering or
software backgrounds are invited to participate and begin
preparing for careers in molecular nanotechnology.

Summary |
Instructors
James Gimzewski is a Senior Research
Scientist and Project Manager at IBM Research Division in
Zurich. He is well known for his numerous recent achievements
in STM tip assisted atomic manipulation on solid surfaces.
Donald W. Brenner is Professor of Materials
Engineering at North Carolina State University. He is well
known for formulating reactive many-body hydrocarbon
potential for diamondoid and fullerene based materials, and
doing large scale molecular dynamics simulations for many
interesting problems in chemistry, physics and materials
science.
Charles W. Bauschlicher, Jr. is Senior
Research Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center. He is an
expert in using all kinds of quantum chemical approaches to
tackle technologically significant physical and chemical
problems.
M. Reza Ghadiri is Assistant Professor in
the Departments of Chemistry and Molecular Biology at the
Scripps Research Institute. He has used techniques from
synthetic chemistry, recombinant DNA technology and Materials
Science to develop novel methods to assemble and study
artificial proteins, molecular receptors, peptide
architectures, and self-replicating molecular systems.
