Title: 
Mathematical modelling in nanotechnology

Abstract:
In this talk, we discuss the mechanical behaviour for non-bonded interactions between various nanostructures by using applied mathematical modelling techniques and continuum mechanical approach. Particularly, we look at modelling nanostructures, such as nanotubes, aromatics rings and nanopores, which have potential applications in nanomedicine and clean energy storage. The talk also touches on modelling polymer chains and proteins using classical calculus of variations.
