About the Workshop
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and National Science Council (NSC) in Taiwan and are pleased to announce that the 4th U.S. Air Force/Taiwan Nanoscience and Nanotechnology workshop will be held on February 8-9, 2007 at the main campus of the University of Houston (UH). All oral and poster presentations will be held in the UH Athletics/Alumni Center, located at 3100 Cullen Boulevard, Houston, TX 77004. We invite you to join us at the workshop.
The first and second Taiwan/U.S. Air Force workshops were held in Maui and Honolulu, Hawaii, and the third was held in Hualien, Taiwan. This series of U.S. Air Force/Taiwan Nanoscience Initiative Workshops aims to provide a stimulating and thought-provoking forum for sharing the latest technical developments and ideas in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Note: Abstract submission and registration are now closed.
