Nanohybrid Structures Workshop

Friday-Saturday, Nov. 15-16, 2002

James Franck Institute, The University of Chicago

 

Organizers: Philippe Guyot-Sionnest, Heinrich Jaeger, Tom Witten and Luping Yu

Schedule with Titles of Talks, Abstracts of Talks, Poster Titles

 

This workshop addresses new opportunities emerging from the combination of

organic and inorganic building blocks at the nanoscale. It brings together

experts from the areas of nanoscale colloidal materials, self-assembly, and

polymer-based nanostructuring. Topics to be discussed include new synthetic

routes for nanoparticles as well as their linking into larger networks, the

role of interfaces in guiding self-assembly, and the use of polymer architec-

tures as scaffolds for the nanoscale organization of inorganic components.

 

The meeting is being held under the auspices of the

Chicago Materials Research Center (MRSEC)

and the

Argonne / University of Chicago Consortium for Nanoscience Research (CNR).

Directions and Parking Information

The meeting is being held in the Research Institutes on the University of Chicago Campus. Enter on 5640 South Ellis Avenue. The workshop will use conference room RI-480 on the NE corner of the fourth floor of the Research Institutes (James Franck Institute and Enrico Fermi Institute). We will have signs posted to direct you to the conference room.
 
For workshop participants staying at the McCormick Hyatt hotel we will have a shuttle bus to get you to the workshop site and back.
 
For a map of the campus showing the building location (5640 South Ellis Ave), see http://mrsec.uchicago.edu/maps/local.html. The meeting will be in the buildings marked 1 and 2 on that map. For travel info and parking see http://www.uchicago.edu/docs/maps/. Parking along Ellis is a possibility on Saturday, but the parking ramp at the intersection of Ellis and 55th Street is the best bet on both days (visitor parking is available; parking is free on Saturdays).


Due to limited space, participation is by invitation only.

The meeting will begin at 8:30am on both days.  There will be two morning and two afternoon sessions of talks by invited speakers, and ample time for discussions and interaction. A workshop banquet for all participants will be held on Friday night.  The registration fee is $50.00.

If you would like to attend, please fill out the Inquiry Form or contact Eileen Sheu at 773 834-9916 or esheu@uchicago.edu for more information. We will respond with an invitation to those we can accommodate.


All participants are invited to present a poster at this workshop.  The poster boards, which will be provided, are standard 36" (h) x 48" (w) white foam tri-folds.  The left and right panels are 36" (h) x 12" (w), and the center panel is 36" (h) x 24" (w).  We will be standing these posters on a ledge. For a list of Poster Titles submitted so far click here.
