Talk Abstract
Nanotechnology
is going to revolutionize the way we make things and transform the way
we live. It is able to transform multiple industries including
aerospace, agriculture, automotive, chemical, energy and environment,
food, information and communication, medicine and health care, security
and transportation. Nanotechnology offers so many possibilities such as
providing cheap and clean energy; clean water; lighter and stronger
materials; faster, more powerful and energy efficient computers; an
exponential increase in information storage capacity; lotus-like self
cleaning surfaces; the reduction or elimination of pollution; and early
detection and treatment for cancer and other diseases.
Asia is one of
the fastest growing regions in nanotechnology R&D and
commercialization. Dr Liu will provide an overview and insight on
Nanotechnology development in policy & funding, infrastructure, R
& D & commercialization, education and risk management in the
Asia Pacific in the last 10 years since the announcement of the US
National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). She will also present a
number of nanotechnology commercialization case studies to highlight on
the current status of nanotechnology impact in different industry
development and challenges companies are facing in the course of
business development
The
presentation will explain to non technical audience the impact of
nanotechnology in our everyday life and industry advancement now and
future. The audience will be able to obtain an overview on what
nanotechnology is and how it relates to their life and business.
