IEEE Foothill / Orange County Joint Section Nanotechnology Council (NTC) Chapter Seminar
The Joint Foothill / Orange County Section Nanotechnology Council Chapter held its first seminar on January 30, 2019 at Cal State University, Fullerton (CSUF). The keynote speaker was Dr. Wei Wu, Professor of Electrical Engineering at USC who was a pioneering researcher in the field of nanoimprint lithography and he described research he is now doing using the technology to create nanoscale structures to enable next generation color displays. He also described his work creating collapsible nanofingers to fabricate plasmonic structures with atomic precision. Based on this technology, he studied quantum tunneling in gap plasmons and demonstrated label-free single molecule sensing with Single-Molecule Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. Audiences said the presentation was fabulous and they gained valuable information from this event. The joint Section organizers Mr. Nick Massetti, Professor Jenny Yu, Professor Yu Bai, IEEE Foothill Section Chair Mr. David Gonzalez, CSUF IEEE President Steven Sagastume and CPP IEEE Nanotech leader Alden Caterio supported the event.
There were 29 attendees with the majority being students. Attendees also included engineers and consultants from area companies. The event included networking and the student’s favorite – pizza. The chapter has its own IEEE listserv distribution list now including 100 addresses. Join the chapter list at https://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?A0=IEEESOCALNANO
Also in the works is a website at https://ieee-region6.org/socal-nano/ which is under construction.
Chapter organizer Cal Poly Pomona Professor Jenny Yu invited all to attend the next event which will feature speaker Dr. Yadong Yin from UCR. She is forming the chapter Executive Committee and welcomes members to join.
