Hope some will come to attend. Thanks, and see you in August. ************************* Dear Colleagues: On behalf of the NSF Summer Institute on Nanomechanics, Nanomaterials, and Micro/Nanomanufacturing, I am writing to remind you that the *deadline for application for fellowships * *is March 1, 2009*, for the short course entitled "Multiscale Science Based-Modeling and Simulation and Experimental Validation on Enabling Materials", to be offered from May 27 to May 30, 2009 in Evanston, Illinois. The short course will first cover science-based modeling and simulation methods for general classes of enabling materials. This will be followed by examining more focused applications such as multifunctional materials for sensing, device fabrication, manipulation, medicine, and biology. We have assembled an international team of six instructors, who are leaders in the field. Thanks to the support of NSF, we have a limited number of NSF fellowships available to faculty members, high-school science teachers, post-docs and PhD candidates from the US. The fellowship consists of full registration fee plus an accommodation allowance. Please check the enclosed announcement for further details. We look forward to seeing you in this short course.
