Conference Description
The Environmental Nanotechnology GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
This meeting will hone in on the pioneering environmental applications of nanomaterials that pave the way in advancing and transforming our understanding of mitigating environmental challenges. A series of sessions will be held to cover the role of nanomaterials and how they are used to overcome environmental challenges associated with climate change, water quality, bioremediation, energy, food security, green chemistry, including safety and risk of such nanomaterials. We welcome research from a broad aspect of scientific topics related to: 1) nanomaterial design and synthesis; 2) advances in nanomaterial applications and theoretical modeling; 3) safety, risk, public policy and management. These sessions will include in-depth discussions on the topics presented and how such contributions can lead to a sustainable future of nanotechnology aimed to mitigate climate change and emerging environmental issues. Additionally, a career developmental workshop will be held to serve as resource for participants in this seminar.
During each session in the series, time will be allocated for three to four speakers followed by a Q & A discussion session. Poster sessions will be held for all participants to allow for camaraderie and networking.
