Abstract

The session on Nano-electronics was initiated by Prof. Xiaosheng Fang, Fudan University, China and Session talk were delivered by renowned experts -Prof. Seongil Im from Yonsei University, S. Korea on the “Two Dimensional Semiconducting Nanosheets for Electron Device Applications”. Prof. Sanford Ruhman from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel elucidated work that he conducted in his lab on fresh ultrafast look at hot exciton dynamics in nanocrystals. Prof. Hai-Feng (Frank) JI from Drexel University, USA talk on growth and potential applications of millimeter long fibrous red phosphorus nanowires. Prof. Caroline Sunyong Lee from Hanyang University, S. Korea proposed a new and emerging process to fabricate smart window. The second day of NWC-2017 started with three parallel sessions on Life Sciences & Medicine; Applications & Societal Aspects; Energy & Environment. The Life Sciences & Medicine session started by Prof. Stephen D Miller, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, USA followed by Prof. Aharon Gedanken, Bar-Ilan University, Israel and Prof. Michael Zharnikov, Heidelberg University, Germany and the session continued with twenty presentations on some of the important topics such as Treatment of Autoimmune Disease and Allergy, Making the Hospital a Safer Place, Alzheimer’s Disease and Reconstitution of Trans-membrane Proteins. The session further continued on third day with Prof. Chuan-Jian Zhong (State University of New York at Binghamton, USA) followed by six presentations. Wonderful session on Applications & Societal Aspects was inaugurated by Prof. Sokrates T. Pantelides, Vanderbilt University, USA and followed by Prof. Joey Mead, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA and Dr. Jo Anne Shatkin, Vireo Advisors, USA. During this session eighteen speakers have presented their work on topics such as Probing the Nanoscale with a Combination of Microscopy and Theory; Scalable Nanomanufacturing Processes; Nanotechnology Safety; Discovery Solution for Nanotechnology – Challenges & Prospects. Prof. Gang Chen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA has inaugurated the Energy & Environment session and followed by twenty presentations on the topics as Nanoparticle Assemblies, Nanostructured Colloid-Interface Engineering, Advanced Optoelectronic Devices, Hypersonic Phononic Structures, New Flat Nanomaterials Based on Carbon. The session continued third day, initiated by Prof. Aharon Gedanken (Bar-Ilan University, Israel) and followed by eleven presentations.
