IWAM-2018 marks the 10th International Workshop on Advanced Materials organized and sponsored by the Ras Al Khaimah Centre for Advanced Materials (RAK CAM). The objectives of the workshop are to have in-depth discussions on the fundamental science and applications of Advanced Materials, including nanostructured materials and nanotechnology, and to stimulate international research collaboration with RAK CAM in diverse areas ranging from chemical, electronic and magnetic materials to environmental, renewable energy and biomedical applications. The general theme of IWAM-2018 is “a celebration of the chemistry & physics of materials to mark the 10th anniversary of RAKCAM”.
The program includes 22 invited talks by a group of world leaders in Advanced Materials who will address topics dealing with research that has the potential for the greatest impact on developing clean and renewable forms of energy, nanomedicine for improved diagnostics and therapy, and a clean healthy environment. This year we are featuring a Desselhaus Memorial Lecture, which will be given by Professor Linda Nazar from the University of Waterloo in Canada. Millie Dresselhaus was a founding Board Member of RAK CAM, and we were all deeply saddened by her untimely passing in February 2017. Millie was a passionate supporter of RAK CAM and was an inspiration to us all. We are grateful to the Dresselhaus family for agreeing that we could hold a lecture in Millie’s memory and we are delighted that Millie’s granddaughter, Leora Dresselhaus-Cooper, will be with us this year. In addition to the lectures, 9 student talks and two poster sessions with more than 90 poster presentations are planned as an integral part of the workshop program. The synergism produced by bringing together more than 150 researchers and students from over 20 countries with research interests in diverse areas of the field of advanced materials is expected to enhance scientific collaboration which will take this field a step closer to realizing its enormous potential for the betterment of mankind. |
