[Annette M Cheever]

CALL FOR PAPERS (Abstract Submission Deadline Extends to *March 1, 2010*)

The purpose of this symposium is to bring together leading educators and 
researchers from university, government, and industry around the world 
to promote the various exciting fields of micro/nanotechnology. 
Representatives of university micro/nano fabrication facilities, ranging 
from new start-up labs to nationally recognized facilities, have found 
this symposium an excellent forum for exchanging information and 
presenting new research and educational concepts. Government agencies 
such as NSF, NIH, NIST, SEMATECH, SRC, DoD and ONR regularly participate 
with research papers and updates on funding opportunities. Industry 
interactions with universities, including technology transfer, 
collaborative research, and training efforts are frequently presented.

Scope of the UGIM symposium includes:

• New Initiatives in University micro/nano programs, courses, 
laboratories, technology transfer, and industry interaction
• Government-University micro/nano research programs
• Micro/nano research projects in the areas of devices, materials, 
simulation, design, processing, testing, and reliability
• Process development, manufacturing, statistical process control and 
design of experiments
• MEMS and microelectronic programs, courses, applications, processing, 
interactions, and research
• Standard silicon and compound semiconductors
• Bioengineering and biotechnology activities related to 
micro/nanotechnology
• Nanotechnology and nanofabrication
• Metrology, sensors and actuators
• University micro/nano research facilities and their operation
• Industry efforts in micro/nanotechnology including technology transfer

Keynote Speakers Include:

Dr. John T. Prater, Program Manager of Army Research Office
John T. Prater is the program manager of Materials Sciences Division of 
Army Research Office.

Ahmad Soueid, AIA LEED AP
Ahmad Soueid is principal/senior vice president at HDR Architecture, Inc.

Dr. C.Y. Sung, Senior Manager at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
C.Y. Sung is the senior manager at IBM supervising the R&D of graphene 
and other novel materials and devices.

Part of Invited Speakers Include:
