OJ-NANO CFP: Special Issue – Tribute to Professor Brajesh Kumar Kaushik

Tuesday, August 13th, 2024


CALL FOR PAPERS

 IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology (OJ-NANO)
Special Issue on
“In Tribute to Professor Brajesh Kumar Kaushik”

IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology (OJ-NANO), a gold fully open access journal launched in 2020 by the IEEE Nanotechnology Council, publishes research advancing the theory, design and development of nanotechnology and its scientific, engineering and industrial applications. The journal has an independent editorial board, an established peer-review process, is targeting a ten-week rapid publishing schedule and is fully compliant with funder mandates, including Plan S. Your work will be exposed to 5 million unique monthly users of the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library. IEEE OJ-NANO received its first Journal Impact of 1.8 and is now indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)TM by Clarivate Analytics as well as in Scopus®! This development indicates increased visibility and profile for both the journal and its published articles, demonstrating IEEE OJ-NANO is a reliable and high-quality source of information in the field of nanotechnology.

IEEE OJ-NANO will devote a special issue to the memory of Prof. Brajesh Kumar Kaushik who passed away on July 31, 2024. Prof. Kaushik was the coordinator of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council chapters in India, a member of the Administrative Committee of the Council, and a guest editor of special issues on spintronics and neuromorphic computing in the IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology and IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. He was a member of the Technical Committee on Spintronics, and a Founding Member of the Technical Committee on Quantum, Neuromorphic and Unconventional Computing. He was an exemplary mentor to many students who are now active researchers in nanotechnology. His enthusiasm and compassion touched many in the nanotechnology community.

NOTE: IEEE OJ-NANO will waive the APC (Article Publishing Charge) for papers invited and accepted for publication in this special issue!

IEEE Nanotechnology Council and IEEE Sensors Council YPs Region 8 Webinar

Monday, July 29th, 2024

Join us for the next exciting webinar in our series, hosted by the IEEE NANOTECHNOLOGY COUNCIL & IEEE SENSORS COUNCIL Young Professionals Region 8

Date & Time: 30 August 2024, 14:00 CET (UTC+2)

Speaker: Jacek Ryl, Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland

Topic: Multiparametric Impedance Discriminant Analysis – A New, Effective Tool to Study Macromolecular Fingerprints

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a leading expert in the field!

Register Now!  https://forms.gle/1GjeT2ryzsnh1K1Q6

Abstract:

The following talk will be dedicated to introducing the development in a novel approach to modus operandi of electrochemical biosensors. By implementing a real-time impedimetric monitoring under various electric field and combined with statistical data analysis tools we obtain full impedance characteristics constituting an explicit fingerprint of the macromolecular interactions [1,2]. This measurement methodology, multiparametric impedance discriminant analysis (MIDA), processes large amounts of generated impedimetric data and brings information on most effective measurement conditions (DC polarization, AC amplitude, frequency range, etc.). The proposed approach neglects some of affinity biosensors reproducibility issues, typically induced by non-specific adsorption and fouling.
