Please check out the information below about the NCN Student Seminar series starting from 2/13/2009 (Friday). Thanks. ------------------- Greetings! The NCN-SLC at Purdue is pleased to announce the first seminar in the NCN Student Seminar series for Spring 2009 and you are invited! The seminar will take place at 11:30am on Friday, Feb 13, 2009 in EE 350 conference room. Our speaker is Mr. Pradeep Nair from Prof. Alam's group. He will present about his research on “Cantor Transforms for Random Systems”. Here is a short abstract of the talk: Cantor Transforms for Random Systems: -------------------------------------------------- Systems based on random or disordered materials form a major focus of emerging technologies like Energy conversion and storage, Healthcare, etc. Although far from being ordered, as compared to crystals, many of these materials exhibit order in some aspects. In this talk we show that there exist unique methods of analysis for such systems with remarkable results. We address a technologically relevant problem- transient diffusion towards scale invariant surfaces and then explore the fundamental idea of finiteness of natural objects. -------------------- Important reminders: 1) Free pizza will be provided at this seminar on first come first serve basis. 2) If you are interested in speaking at one of the seminars for Sprint 2009, please send an email to ncn.slc.amrit(a)gmail.com or at aeislam(a)ieee.org 3) All NCN students are invited. Please help to pass the word about the seminar to an NCN friend who is not on students@nanohub mailing list.
