The preparation of advanced materials with nanometer structure and the assembly of devices with critical dimensions on the scale of nanometers require that nanoscale objects be positioned and manipulated in a reproducible manner, with exquisite control and, if at all possible, in a high throughput manner. Engineers are increasingly resorting to driven-assembly approaches that rely on external fields to conceive manufacturing processes that meet such constraints. Over the last several years, our group at the University of Wisconsin has been engaged in the development of multi-scale theoretical and computational techniques that seek to provide a faithful representation of field-driven assembly over multiple length and time scales. This presentation will provide an overview of some of these techniques, along with a discussion of their use for design of specific devices and processes.

Graduate Student Poster Contest Poster Session Plan

CHEMS Graduate Students: Abstracts are due September 26, 5:00 PM to JoAnn (email preferred)

Maximum 8 posters -- Beginning 3rd year or later students, preferred; first come, first served except for multiple posters from a single research group which will be ordered by submission after each group's first submission is accepted. Either ChE or MSE posters are welcome.

Posters will be displayed on easels with foam core board.

Posters should be set up by the submitting students. Posters should be set up at the University Club at MSU between 3:00 and 3:45 PM, prior to the seminar.

The student judged to have the best poster from MSU will receive a $100 Amazon gift card.
