Peter T. Cummings, John R. Hall Professor of Chemical Engineering at Vanderbilt University, USA will present the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar will be available for viewing and discussion through the Nanotech Hub at http://nanotech.colayer.net/
Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience: Essential Enabling Tools for Nanotechnology
Theory, modeling and simulation (TMS) have been repeatedly identified as key enabling technologies for making fundamental advances in nanoscience and for making nanotechnology a practical reality [1-3]. In this talk, we provide an overview of the role of TMS in nanoscience, as well as an introduction to our ongoing theoretical and simulation-based research programs in nanotribology, nanoscale complexity of the electric double layer, molecular electronics, hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposites and nanoconfined fluids.
