Interdisciplinary Nature of Workshop: Emerging Opportunities of Nanoscience to
Energy Conversion and Storage
This NSF workshop was highly interdisciplinary, with participants from various areas of
Electrical, Mechanical and Material Engineering related to energy and nano-technologies,
as well as Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and Computer Science. It will impact both
the research community in Nanoscience as well as other disciplines engaged in the study
of energy technologies.
The workshop will bring together for the first time leading Nanoscientists with expertise
in the relevant sub areas (e.g., self-assembly, quantum dots, nano-optics, DNA-metallic
hybrids, etc.) to consider this topic.
The workshop also included leading relevant energy technology experts in the topics:
(i)
photo-voltaics,
(ii)
thermocouplers,
(iii) fuel cell and
(iv)
battery technology
These speakers provided expertise on current the energy technologies and limitations.
