The IEEE Nanotechnology Council is pleased to announce that two summer school proposals are approved. Program details and registration option will be announced.
2021 IEEE NTC Romania Summer School on Nanotechnology
“Nanomaterials & Nanotechnologies for Advanced Energy Systems”
Proposed dates: 5 days (September 20-24th)
Proposer:
• Prof. Eden Mamut, Institute for Nanotechnologies and Alternative Sources of Energy, Ovidius University of Constanta, Romania, email: emamut@univ-ovidius.ro
The aim of the summer school is to offer a holistic approach on the development of advanced energy systems integrating nanomaterials and nanotechnologies.
The theme of the summer school is the holistic approach in developing “safe-by-design” advanced energy systems integrating nanomaterials and nanotechnologies for performance improvement, reduction of environmental impact and the substitution of critical materials. The advanced energy systems are referring to fuel cells, thermoelectric convertors, hybrid solar panels and electro-opto-chemical reactors.
IEEE Region 9 ‘2021 IEEE NTC Latin America Summer School on Nanotechnology (2021 IEEE LASSNANO)
“Sustainable electronics and abundant nanomaterials from natural sources”
Proposed dates: 2 days (1st day: Design, modeling, simulation; and 2nd day: Fabrication).
Proposers:
• Camilo Tellez Villamizar, RF-MEMS Research Group, Universidad Católica de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia. E-mail: camilo.tellez@ieee.org
• Guilherme Brasil Pintarelli, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianopolis, Brazil. E-mail: gbpintarelli@ieee.org
Currently, there are over 100 university groups in Latin America researching nanotechnology and over 250 companies which develop or apply nanotechnology to final products. Despite encouraging numbers, it is known that nanotechnologies face two main challenges in Latin America: the implementation for the interests of society and the lack of qualification at different educational levels. The IEEE NTC summer school in Latin America may be one of the sparks to address those problems.
Based on the mission of IEEE NTC, the 2021 IEEE LASSNANO plans lectures and workshops to provide training and connect parties interested in nanotechnologies. The 2021 IEEE LASSNANO theme is ‘Sustainable electronics and abundant nanomaterials from natural sources’, and more specifically their usage in Latin America. The lectures will be experts in the field of nanotechnology in industry, academia, and government. We target senior undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, and researchers, practitioners, and others seeking to explore new career areas.

Congratulations to NTC Awards Chair Alex Balandin, UC Riverside distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering and materials science, who was selected for the DoD’s 2021 Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellows (VBFF) program.
On May 5th, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced the selection of eight distinguished faculty scientists and engineers for the 2021 Class of Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellows (VBFF). The highly competitive fellowship is the DoD’s flagship single investigator award for basic research. VBFF is sponsored by the Basic Research Office, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, with grants managed by the Office of Naval Research.
The Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship is named in honor of Dr. Vannevar Bush, the Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development after World War II. In line with Dr. Bush’s vision, the Fellowship aims to advance transformative, university-based fundamental research. For the FY21 competition, over 300 white papers were received, from which panels of experts recommended the final eight fellows. Each fellow will receive up to $3 million over the five-year fellowship term to pursue cutting-edge fundamental research projects.
Prof. Balandin’s topic is specifically on nanotechnology. The project is on creating a new research field: one-dimensional quantum materials. For their VBFF project, Balandin and co-workers will investigate formation of charge-density-wave condensate in one-dimensional Van der Waals materials. Other topics of interest include one-dimensional materials with strong spin-orbit coupling, phonon confinement, and quantization effects. Electronics experts expect that one-dimensional quantum materials can be used in a variety of electronic devices, with applications in low-power electronic circuits, quantum computers, small-size electromagnetic antennas for radiofrequency communications, and energy-conversion devices.
More information about the Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship is available on the DoD Basic Research Office website.

The Nanotechnology Council is forming two new Technical Committees:
TC16 – Quantum technologies
TC16 will be an interdisciplinary guide for scientists working in quantum, neuromorphic and unconventional computing envisioning how nanotechnology will impact their development. A challenge will be bringing researchers of the three different communities to create a common language, with the aim to transfer solutions and exchange idea among the communities. Planned activities are: creation of a robust TC membership; organization of conference sessions; organization of special issues; articles on perspectives. For information contact the new TC’s chair Giovanni Finocchio, gfinocchio@unime.it.
TC 17 – Plasmas and plasma-based technologies in quantum
To fabricate high performance nanodevices and nano-systems, atomic layer and damage-free plasma nanomanufacturing technologies are indispensable. For this purpose, it is essential to develop methods for generating and transporting charged particles, UV photons, and reactive species on the surface to suppress damages and to control atomic layer surface chemical reactions in plasma processing. Achieving control of atomic layer surface chemical reactions requires diagnostics and sensors for both the plasma and resultant surface states but also models (phenomenological to the first principles) that can predict process results. Therefore, our final target is the development and implementation of intelligent plasma nanomanufacturing technologies in accordance with Industry 4.0 and 5.0 standards. For information contact the new TC’s chair Prof. Dr. Seiji Samukawa, seiji.samukawa.e2@tohoku.ac.jp.
