TUTORIAL INSTRUCTORS CREDENTIALS:
*********************
A TOP-DOWN LOOK AT BOTTOM UP ELECTRONICS
Mark Lundstrom is the Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at Purdue University. He is the founding director of
the NSF Network for Computational Nanotechnology and also serves on the
leadership councils of the MARCO Focus Center on Materials, Structures, and
Devices and the NASA Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing. His recent
research interests have been on applying the insights and methods being
developed in molecular electronics to semiconductor transistors at the
scaling limit and in exploring new devices that might complement gigascale
Si CMOS. His work with his colleague, Supriyo Datta, on these topics was
recently recognized by the 2002 IEEE Cledo Brunetti Award.

*********************
NANOSTRUCTURED CATALYSTS
Susannah Scott is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at the
University of California - Santa Barbara. Her research in surface
organometallic chemistry involves the construction and characterization of
uniform, catalytically active multimetallic sites on oxide surfaces,
structure-activity relationships for uniform supported catalysts and
molecular layer epitaxy of thin films.

*********************
IMPLICATIONS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Tomas E. Mallouk is DuPont Professor of Materials Chemistry at the
Pennsylvania State University. His research involves the synthesis of
materials from nanoscale building blocks, and he is credited with some of
the earliest experiments in the area of inorganic self assembly. He is
currently interested in the development of functional materials from
nanoscale components and their applications in solar energy conversion,
environmental remediation, molecular electronics, fuel cells and catalysis,
chemical sensing, and separations. Mallouk is a co-founder of Molecular
Electronics Corp., is Chief Scientist of NuVant Systems, Inc., and serves as
Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. He is the
author of approximately 200 publications, including a few good ones, and has
edited three books on solid state chemistry and chemical sensors.

*********************
SELF-ASSEMBLY APPROACHES TO NANOSCALE MATERIALS
Steven C. Zimmerman is the William H. and Janet G. Lycan Professor of
Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a
synthetic organic chemist whose research lies at the interface of chemical
biology and polymer chemistry. The current efforts of his group are focused
on molecular recognition and self-assembly processes involving DNA, DNA base
analogs, dendrimers, and other polymeric materials.

*********************
AN INTEGRATED SYSTEMS-ORIENTED
APPROACH TO MOLECULAR ELECTRONICS
Fraser Stoddart is the Saul Winstein Professor of Chemistry at the
University of California in Los Angeles and the Scientific Co-Director of
the California NanoSystems Institute. He has published over 650 scientific
papers and is currently one of the 100 most highly cited chemists according
to the Institute for Scientific Information. He has pioneered the
development of molecular recognition-cum-self-assembly processes and
templatedirected protocols in, respectively, noncovalent and covalent
synthesis with supramolecular assistance, for the construction of
nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) and the fabrication of
nano-electronic devices. His research has taken our fundamental knowledge of
chemical bonding into the realm of smart mechanical bonds, which can be
directed to control the movements of motor-molecules and the operations of
molecular switches. He was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society of
London in 1994 and to the Fellowship of the German Academy of Natural
Sciences, the Leopoldina, in 1999.
