Abstract

Over 200,000 nanoHUB users have run over 7 million simulations in Apps mostly focused on semiconductor devices and materials modeling. These apps provide very simple and intuitive interfaces to community and research codes that are hard to install, operate, and to maintain even for experts.   As such nanoHUB created the first end-to-end scientific cloud enabling users to focus on solving problems rather than installing and maintaining software (before “the cloud” was a thing).  Any portal provides access, installation, and compute cycles, however, usability is most often neglected.  Most scientific tools focus on solving “any” simulation problem in a specific problem range.  Such comprehensiveness makes these tools usable by experts only, typically after intensive training.  nanoHUB has instead focused on delivering a spectrum of apps that individually have a limited capability compared to the underlying toolset, but as a whole set cover a vast swath of problems. Hundreds of community members have contributed over 700 Apps into nanoHUB.

We assembled some of these Apps that are essential for specific courses into small sets such as ABACUS (crystals, bandstructure, drift-diffusion, pn-junctions, BJTs, MOScaps, MOSFETs) [1].  The usability results are stunning.  Our user analytics prove that over half of the simulation users participate in structured education through homework/project assignments.   We can identify classroom sizes and detailed tool usage [2,3]. We can begin to build mind-maps of design explorations and assess depth of explorations for individuals and classes. While parts of academia struggled to innovate curricula, we have measured the median first-time App insertion into a class to be less than six months.  Over 180 institutions have utilized nanoHUB in their curriculum innovation in over 3,600 classes.   2 million nanoHUB visitors explore lectures and tutorials annually.  Over 2,700 papers cite nanoHUB in the scientific literature resulting in 68,300+ secondary citations and an equivalent h-index of 121.

With such a community presence we believe nanoHUB is the platform of choice to deliver online modeling, simulation, virtual environments, and lectures for the US initiative on workforce development and chip design [4]. We are in the process to build chipshub.org as a group inside nanoHUB.  Chipshub hosts commercial and open-source chip design tools and associated apps and learning materials.   It is hosted in Purdue’s hardware cloud.

    Webinar: Nanomaterials-Mediated Manipulation of Cellular Functions

    Tuesday, July 18th, 2023

    IEEE NANOTECHNOLOGY COUNCIL – Technical Committee 2 Nano-Biomedicine

    presents

    Webinar: “Nanomaterials-Mediated Manipulation of Cellular Functions”
    with Prof. Gianni Ciofani 

    When: Tuesday 12th September 2023
    11:00 AM (GMT +1 – Rome (IT))

    Registration link: https://oulu.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5Asfuuuqz0uE9QDaILd8N9mK1xEgQkd96_Q

    Abstract:

    The remote control of cellular functions through smart nanomaterials represents a bio-manipulation approach with unprecedented potential applications in many fields of medicine, ranging from cancer therapy to tissue engineering. By actively responding to external stimuli, smart nanomaterials act as real nanotransducers able to mediate and/or convert different forms of energy into both physical and chemical cues, fostering specific cell behaviors [1, 2].

    A new paradigm is proposed for nanomedicine, in order to exploit the intrinsic properties of nanomaterials as active devices rather than as passive structural units or carriers for medications.

      2023 IEEE NTC TC10 Modeling and Simulation June Webinar

      Monday, June 5th, 2023

      Date: June 27, 2023

      Topic: Atomistic TCAD Simulations
      Speaker: Philippe Blaise, Atomistic Senior Application Engineer, TCAD Division, Silvaco, Inc.

      Time: 8:00 PDT, 17:00 CEST, 00:00 JST

      Register below to receive meeting link.

      Abstract:

      For designing the most advanced technological nodes, quantum effects become hard to approximate. This leads to the failure of using conventional TCAD tools that are essentially based on empirical laws. Therefore, engineers need new simulation tools at the 5 nm node and below that combine a more fundamental formalism with affordable performances and ease of use. During this webinar, we will briefly describe what is behind the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism with simplified arguments. We will show how simulating nano-devices becomes easy, even without full academic knowledge of the NEGF theory. The quantum complexity is hidden inside the simulation tool “VictoryAtomistic” which benefits from years of development at the highest level. We will show two test cases: a silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor (NWFET) and a 2D-TMD Tunneling FET (TFET) made of a layer of MoS2. Thanks to a combination of state-of-the-art band structure calculations with the NEGF, predictive, versatile, and fast simulations of these devices become accessible with an environment that provides a smooth transition for TCAD users.

      Biography:

      Dr. Philippe Blaise has been a senior application engineer in atomistic simulation at Silvaco’s TCAD Division for four years. Prior to joining Silvaco, Dr. Blaise was a senior engineer specialized in atomistic simulation of new memory devices and transistors at CEA/LETI for 15 years. He is a former member of the IEEE IEDM Modelling and Simulation Committee. He is co-author of more than 60 papers in peer-review journals in the field and 30 contributions to conferences and workshops, plus 5 patents and one book chapter. Dr. Blaise holds a Master’s degree in applied mathematics and a Ph.D. in solid states physics from the Université Grenoble Alpes, France.

          2022 IEEE NTC Technical Activities Workshops

          Friday, December 16th, 2022

          2022 IEEE NTC Technical Activities Workshops (TAW)

          by Xiaoning Jiang, Kremena Makasheva, Weiqiang Liu, and Edward Perkins

          The goal of NTC TAW initiative is to establish a mentoring/training program that will support TC chairs and society representatives to be more effectively involved in and support NTC technical activities (TAs) at the end of the long COVID-19 pandemic that has caused numerous challenges in NTC technical activities. The IEEE NTC TAW initiative was approved by NTC in 2022 and NTC TAWs were scheduled for 2022 and 2023, with the expectation that all NTC TC chairs and member society representatives can attend at least one TAW during their TC chair or society representative terms. Dr. Xiaoning Jiang, VP TA, Dr. Kremena Makasheva, past VP TA and VP-elect Conference, and Dr. Weiqiang Liu, VP-elect TA were the key organizers for 2022 NTC TAWs.

          The first NTC TAW was held on Nov. 3-4, 2022, Espaces Vanel, Toulouse, France, with Dr. Kremena Makasheva as Local Chair. 5 NTC TC chairs/TC chair representatives, 6 NTC member society representatives, 7 NTC Officers, the NTC Secretary, 3 Standing Committees Chairs and 3 EICs (16 in-person participants, and 8 recorded and remote presenters) attended the 2022 IEEE NTC TAW-Toulouse.

          All present TC chairs or TC chair representatives (Dr. Xiaogan Liang (TC03 Nanofabrication), Dr. Inkyu Park (TC07 Nanosensors and Nanoactuators), Dr. Roza Kotlyar (TC10 Modeling and Simulation), Dr. Dustin Allen Gilbert (TC12 Nanomagnetics), and Dr. James B. Spicer (TC15 Nano-acoustic devices, Proc. and Materials) and member society representatives (Dr. Juan Ren (CS), Dr. Kremena Makasheva (DEIS), Dr. Val Novosad (MAG), Dr. Luca Pierantoni (MTT), Dr. John P. Verbencoeur (NPS), Dr. Weidong Zhou (IPS)) introduced themselves at the beginning of the workshop, as well as the TCs and member societies.

          Lectures were then given by the NTC President (Dr. Fabrizio Lombardi, remote), Past President (Dr. James Morris, remote), VP Finances (Dr. Malgorzata Chrzanowska-Jeske, remote), VP for Conference (Dr. Jin-Woo Kim, in-person), VP for Educational Activities (Dr. Lixin Dong, recorded and Dr. James Spicer, in-person for TryNANO), VP for Technical Activities (Dr. Xiaoning Jiang, in-person), VP for Publications (Dr. Supriyo Bandyopadhyay (with Kremena’s in-person introduction)), Secretary (Mr. Ed Perkins, in-person), EICs of NTC publications (Dr. Sorin Cotofana, in-person for TNANO, Dr. Jin-Woo Kim, in-person for OJ NANO, Dr. Bing Sheu for INM (presented by Dr. Xiaoning Jiang)), NTC conference general chairs (Dr. Jin-Woo Kim for NANO 2023), Chair for NTC YPs Committee (Dr. Rafal Sliz, remote), Chair for NTC Chapters (Dr. Lan Fu, recorded), and Chair for NTC Standards Committee (Mr. Tyler Jaynes, in-person).

          Through these presentations, the TC chairs and member society representatives were able to understand better the NTC Technical Activities associated with TCs and member societies. Discussions were centered around the needs for technical activities from TCs and member societies, the gap between the needs and the support the TCs can provide, and how to bridge the gap so that more impactful NTC TAs can be resulted for sustainable NTC growth.

          On Nov. 17, 2022, the NTC TAW-Nanjing was held in Zhenbao Holiday Hotel in Nanjing, China. The workshop was chaired by Dr. Weiqiang Liu, NTC VP-Elect for Technical Activities and co-organized by Dr. Xiaoning Jiang, NTC VP for Technical Activities and Dr. Kremena Makasheva, NTC VP-Elect for Conferences. The workshop included two sessions. In the morning session, the current NTC officers presented an overview of NTC, starting with a general description by Mr. Edward G. Perkins (NTC Secretary, remote), and followed by VP for Conferences (Dr. Jin-Woo Kim, remote), VP Technical Activities (Dr. Xiaoning Jiang, remote), VP for Educational Activities (Dr. Lixin Dong, remote), VP for Publications (Dr. Supriyo Bandyopadhyay, recorded), VP Finance (Dr. Malgorzata Chrzanowska-Jeske, recorded), and the NTC chapters (Dr. Lan Fu, recorded).

          In the afternoon session, the chairs of TC02 Nano-biomedicine (Dr. Haibo Yu), TC09 Nano-Metrology and Characterization (Dr. Peng Li), TC13 Nano Energy, Environment and Safety (Dr. Zhan Yang), TC14 Nanoscale communications (Dr. Lin Lin) introduced their TCs in terms of the TC organization, the technical and educational activities. Then, the society representatives including Communications Society (Dr. Lingyang Song), Industrial Electronics Society (Dr. Yunjia Li), Computer Society (Dr. Weiqiang Liu) presented the overview of their societies. The general chair of IEEE NMDC 2022, Dr. Li Tao presented the preparation process of the conference and shared the experience on organizing a NTC conference. The EiC of NTC e-Newsletter, Dr. Ke Chen introduced the newsletter and related social medias.

          After all presentations, the attendees discussed some emerging topics for the coming NTC conference and publications. It was also suggested to form a multimedia team to manage all the NTC social media. It is expected to have a tightly coupled NTC ecology based on active TCs and Chapters to supports the NTC conferences, publications and educational activities.

          The 2023 IEEE NTC TAW is being planned to be in conjunction with IEEE NANO 2023 in Jeju, Korea. TC chairs and member society representatives who missed the 2022 TAWs are warmly welcome to attend 2023 TAW.

          The short-term outcome of NTC TAWs can be measured by increasing the number and the attendance of special sessions for NTC conferences such as NANO 2023, NMDC 2023, NANO 2024 and NMDC 2024, and special issues for NTC journals and magazine. The long-term outcome will be measured by more impactful TAs associated with NTC educational activities, publication and conferences and the sustainable growth of NTC, keeping in that way the leadership of NTC in Nanotechnology field.
