Goldberg's Variations
By Dan Gordon

In the lab, CNSI Prof. Bob Goldberg's research in genetic engineering may lead to new generations of superplants. But it is in the classroom where his influence perhaps is greatest, as he sows the seeds that will blossom into the newest crop of young scientists. Read more in UCLA Magazine...



Microgravity, Bio-MEMS, Autonomous Vehicle Systemscs (ICM)

Date: May 10, 2002
Location: The Bradley International Hall, UCLA
Website: http://www.rtr.mae.ucla.edu/
Description: Dozens of the latest breakthroughs and innovations in mechanical and aerospace engineering (MAE) at UCLA will be showcased at the spring research and technology review. Professional engineers, colleagues in industry and members of government research organizations are invited to learn about the research and educational programs being pursued by the MAE department, and to discuss ways they can take advantage of opportunities to collaborate. More than 60 faculty researchers and graduate students will present their latest research projects in dozens of technical areas, including rocket engine systems, autonomous vehicle systems, bio-MEMS and nanotechnology.

Nanoscale/Molecular Mechanics

Date: May 12-17, 2002
Location: Outrigger Wailea Resort, Maui, Hawaii
Website: http://www.molecular-mechanics.org/
Description: The cross-disciplinary focus of the First International School and Conference on Nanoscale/Molecular Mechanics (N/M2-I) upon mechanics in ultra-small systems will advance this emerging field in three important ways: it will accelerate fundamental technical advances in this area, contribute to the emergence of new technologies involving nanoscale/molecular mechanics, and establish a group of early adopters for the revolutionary capabilities that are emerging. The CNSI professors participating at the conference are James Gimzewski, James Heath, Carlo Montemagno, Chih-Ming Ho, Fraser Stoddart, and Andrew Cleland.

The Nano Republic of California

Date: July 17, 2002
Location: Korn Hall, The Anderson School, UCLA
Description: The conference is designed to integrate Life Science and Physical Science speakers and attendees to promote cross-discipline communication. The presenters in the event will be from Academia, Venture Capital Firms, Major Corporations, Labs, Entrepreneurial Startups, and Government. The CNSI professors confirmed to participate in the event are James Heath, Evenlyn Hu, and Eli Yablonovitch.

International Congress of Mathematics (ICM)

Date: August, 2002
Location: Beijing International Convention Center, Beijing
Website: www.icm2002.org.cn/A/general.htm
Description: ICM is the primary gathering in the mathematical world held every four years with nineteen different sections covering all area of mathematics. CNSI professor Eitan Tadmor is an invited speaker in which he will give a talk in the section of Numerical Analysis.

Trends in Nanotechnology (TNT 2002)

Date: Sept. 9-13, 2002
Location: Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Website: www.cmp-cientifica.com/TNT2002.html
Description: The aim of the "Trends in Nanotechnology" conference (TNT2002) will be to focus on the applications of Nanotechnology and to bring together in a scientific Forum various groups throughout the world working in this field. CNSI professors James Gimzewski and James Heath are keynote speakers in the conference.

Physical-chemistry of Polymeric Systems, 2nd Rhodia International Conference

Date: Sept 17-20, 2002

Location: University of Bristol (UK)
Website: http://www.rhodia.com/us/home_tunel.asp
Description: The Rhodia International Conferences will consist of four sessions: optical and electronic properties of polymers, polymers at interfaces, H-bonding and electrostatic interactions, and systems far from equilibrium. CNSI Professors Bill Gelbart and Alan Heeger are two invited speakers in the conference.

Mathematics in Nanoscale Science and Engineering


Date: September 16 - December 13, 2002
Location: IPAM (the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics) at UCLA
Website: http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/nano2002/
Description: The goal of this program is to bring together mathematicians, scientists and engineers working on nanoscale problems. The program will include workshops on Alternative Computing, Quantum Computing , Data Analysis & Imaging, and Modeling & Simulation for Materials. In addition, there will be a series of tutorial lectures, short workshops on microfluidics and molecular modeling, and an ongoing seminar series. The CNSI professors participating are Jim Heath, Russel Caflisch, Vwani P. Roychowdhury, and Emily Carter.
