Pancoe Abbott Auditorium
Guest Speaker: Professor Fraser Stoddart
Professor Stoddart is a pioneer in the fields of nanoscience and organic chemistry and recently joined the Northwestern University faculty as the Board of Trustees Professor of Chemistry and Director of the new Center for Chemistry in Integrated Systems. A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Stoddart was appointed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as a Knight Bachelor in her 2007 New Year's Honors List for his services to chemistry and molecular nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology has been heralded as having the potential to lead to the next industrial revolution. But, what is nanotechnology? What are the possible applications and how might it impact our world?
Learn more about this exciting new arena from some of the leaders in the field at the public Nanotechnology Town Hall Meetings. These are the first in a series of Town Hall meetings that will include an informative lecture by world-renown scientists and engineers followed by your questions. The goal of these meetings is to provide an opportunity for the community to learn the fundamentals about nanotechnology and to explore the larger questions about the smallest technology.
We invite you to join us!
Meetings are free and open to the public but registration is required.
