Nanomechanics: From Cells to Solids

[a summer school and conference sponsored jointly by the NSF and the KNI]

The purpose of this program is to provide a pedagogical introduction to the vibrant field of nanomechanics (with particular applications to biology) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), and to bring together active nanomechanics researchers from around the world. The emphasis will be broad, including a week focused on primarily biological systems and a week on primarily quantum solid state systems.

The summer school is being organized by Miles Blencowe, Michael Geller, Rob Phillips, Tom Powers, and Rob Rudd.

The number of participants for this program is limited to 50 to insure a vibrant atmosphere and an open exchange of ideas. Prospective participants should apply on-line. Priority will be given to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. There will be two poster sessions for the participants.
