Training and Extension Seminars and Lectures - Educational Connections with Industry and National Labs

The continual exchange of ideas with industry colleagues is a primary goal in both the Research and the Education Programs of CNSI. The CNSI Education Plan was developed with the objective of increasing the number of industrial colleagues on campus. A program of Industrial Fellows will be established in which researchers from industry spend a minimum of three months in residence at the CNSI. There they may co-teach courses or seminars and help advise graduate students on research.

Collaborative programs are planned between the UCLA Anderson School of Management and the UCSB Center for Entrepreneurship and Engineering Management (CEEM) to provide managers with a working knowledge of nanosystems. The goal is to provide executives with a technologically grounded base for making strategic decisions. Entrepreneurship programs at UCLA and UCSB play vital roles in the CNSI, both as the source of innovative education for students and collaborators and as vehicles for moving CNSI technology toward application and economic development. Entrepreneurial activities will be promoted by providing an industrial presence on campus. Courses presented by industrial visitors or residents in fields ranging from technical to business-oriented topics will be regularly arranged. A similar spectrum of collaborative educational activities is planned with the CNSI National Lab partners Los Alamos and the Lawrence Livermore National Labs.

Upcoming Seminars

The Second International Symposium
on Nanoarchitectonics Using Suprainteractions (NASI 2)
Date: March 26-28, 2002
Location: The Bradley International Hall, UCLA
Website: http://www.nasi2.org/
Description: Chaired by CNSI professor James K. Gimzewski, the symposium NASI 2 will present guiding principles for understanding the various phenomena in the nanoregion and nanoscale technological innovations. Establishing a general and systematic concept on fundamental interactions will prove propitious for establishing the potential breakthrough technology of nanoarchitectonics. Among the many speakers, the CNSI professors participating are James K. Gimzewski, Carlo Montemagno, James Heath, Fraser Stoddart, and Pierre Petroff. In addition, Digital Instruments of Veeco Metrology Group, a CNSI company member, will be conducting a live, hands-on demonstration of their new Multimode PicoForce instrument and related AFM equipment.

Intergrating BioMEMs and Nanotechnology into a Commercial Product
Date: April 15-17, 2002
Location: Room G-33 West, UCLA Extension Building, adjacent to UCLA campus
Website: www.uclaextension.org/shortcourses/
Course Information and Enrollment
Description: This comprehensive course presents state-of-the-art research and technology in the Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMs) and nanotechnology areas, with specific emphasis and applications in the biomedical field. The course also looks at research into the construction of a hybrid organic/inorganic nanoscale system, the basic mechanics of motor protein motion, and the technological foundation for functionally integrating manufactured devices. Four CNSI professors, James Gimzewski, James Heath, Carlo Montemagno, and Chih-Ming Ho, will participate and lecture on the various technologies. The course will address the commercialization of bio-MEMs and nanotechnology and the involvement of small and large companies within this emerging field.

UCLA Crump/GE/LS:IT Molecular Imaging Seminar Series
Date: Various (see website)
Location: Jules Stein Eye Institute -- RPB Auditorium
Website: www.crump.ucla.edu/public/GE_seminar.adp
Press Release: PDF or Microsoft Word
Description: Through a lecture series offered by UCLA's Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging (CIMI), with support from General Electric (GE) and the Life Sciences:Information Technology (LS:IT) program of the University of California, experts in the area of Molecular Imaging from across the nation are sharing their findings with the scientific and medical community. CNSI Professor Sam Gambhir is the Director of CIMI.
