A new Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC) is coming soon to the IEEE Nanotechnology Council.

Our main goal is to promote and sustain robust industry engagement across the NTC. In coordination with IEEE Nanotechnology Council leadership, IAC will partner with leading industry experts in (nano)manufacturing, (nano)metrology/(nano)characterization, (nano)materials, modeling/computation, consulting and nanotechnology start-ups to curate stimulating activities and useful technical trainings. We envision activities like IAC-sponsored webinars from equipment manufacturers that highlight advances in characterization/sensitivity/throughput or perhaps a novel in-line quality control capability.

Other strategic duties for the IAC include providing activities for continuing education credit opportunities for IEEE NTC professional engineers; assisting the IEEE Nanotechnology Council’s leadership with industry-related outreach initiative development; or helping our Chapters and NTC-sponsored Conference Organizers with grass-roots industry engagement.

As a new committee, our mission will reflect the unique personalities and professional experiences of our founding membership. Thus, if you work in an industrial position, or hold an academic position with strong industry ties and have interest in joining this Committee, we would love to hear from you!

A brief response (use form below) with your affiliation, how long you have worked in industry and whether you are active in any of the IEEE NTC groups or chapters would be a great start. A short Bio or CV would be a plus, but is not required. Our goal is to form a committee that is geographically-, career- and gender-diverse and inclusive, with representatives from different engineering/science backgrounds and interests. We will follow up with further information for the first organizational meeting (online) as soon as we reach a critical mass of responses.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at your earliest convenience.

Thank you beforehand for your interest in the foundation of the IEEE NTC Industrial Advisory Committee.

With kind regards, on behalf of the IEEE NTC Industrial Advisory Committee,

Dan Gopman (daniel.gopman@ieee.org) and Val Novosad (novosad@ieee.org).
