Fall Symposium: Nanovation: From Science to Startups
IEEE SF Bay Nanotechnology Council Presents
8th Annual Fall Symposium
“Nanovation: From Science to Startups”
Saturday October 27th 2012, 9 AM – 5 PM
Location: Stanley Hall, University Drive, UC Berkeley Campus, Berkeley CA
In association with Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science (E3S), National Science Foundation (NSF), and Berkeley Nano Club (BNC).
Since its conceptualization by Dr. Richard Feynman, Nanotechnology has come a long way in its development and the Nanotechnology Age is the likely successor of the Information Age. Its penetration in electronics, medicine, textiles etc. has been disruptive in many arenas of science and technology. Due to its enormous potential Researchers, Entrepreneurs, and Investors have shown tremendous interest in Nanotechnology and invested significantly each in their own way. This symposium is focused on bringing together the unique perspectives of these three groups and reviewing the progress so far and the ever widening landscape of Nanotechnology. Centered on the current activities of students and recent graduates this event will include a poster session.
