Abstract deadline March 21st: Multiscale Simulation and Material Design tracks at the IEEE Nano conference in Cork, Ireland, July 23-26, 2018

Dear colleagues,

March 21st is the abstract submission deadline to tracks on Multiscale Simulation and Material Design for Energy Harvesting and Storage at the IEEE Nano conference in Cork, Ireland on July 23-26, 2018.

Abstract submission guidelines are given at:

http://ieeenano18.org/abstract-submission-guidelines/

Please note that the submission of the 4 page proceedings paper is optional.

IEEE Nano is the flagship IEEE Nanotechnology conference. It covers a wide range of topics in nanoscience and technology, from nanomaterials and nanofabrication, to nanosensors, nanoactuators, nanoelectronic/nanophotonic devices and nanoenergy. Further details on the conference scope and programme can be found at http://ieeenano18.org.

The topics covered by the Multiscale Simulation track will include:

-Enabling Multi-Scale Simulation, through theory and method development
-Simulation of atomic layer deposition
-Simulation of catalytic processes
