Measurement Needs for Emerging Materials and Technologies

March 3rd and 4th 2010 - National Physical Laboratory, Delhi, INDIA

A VAMAS Technical Workshop, supported by the USA National Science Foundation will be held in March this year. The desired outcome of this workshop is the development of new VAMAS Technical Working Areas (TWA).

The primary theme of the workshop will be based on Materials for Energy applications (e.g. batteries, fuel cells, thermoelectric materials and materials for carbon sequestration).

Invited speakers:
    Dr. Bharat Bhargava (Institute of New and Renewable Energy)
    National Solar Mission - India
    Prof. Ctirad Uher (University of Maryland - USA)
    Thermoelectricity: A component of the comprehensive solution to the energy crisis
    Dr. Sadhana Rayalu (NEERI - India)
    Molecularly engineered nanomaterials for mitigation of green house gas effect
    Dr. Gareth Hinds (National Physical Laboratory, Teddington - UK)
    Fuel Cells - Measurement and standardization needs
    Prof. D. S. Misra (Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai - India)
    Application of carbon nanotubes for the energy sector
    Prof. G. U. Kulkarni (JNCASR, Bengaluru - India)
    Nanoentrapment lithography for metal nanowire grating patterns
    Ms. Clare Allocca (NIST - USA)
    NIST Sustainability Programme

There will also be a half day session on Materials Databases (4th March). Subsequent discussions will form the basis for any input to the recently formed VAMAS Technical Work Area 'Materials Databases Interoperability'.
