Professor Takeaki Sakurai from Tsukuba University

After receiving his BS and MS in 1987 and 1990, Bing Xu obtained his PhD in 1996. Notably, Xu lab pioneered the integration of enzyme transformation and self-assembly for developing molecular biomaterials, synthesized the first dimeric nanoparticle consisting of quantum dot and nanomagnet for exploring nanoscience inside cells, reported the first case of using dopamine to anchor molecules on iron oxide surface, and demonstrated the first case of using enzymatic transformation and self-assembly to inhibit cancer cells selectively. Being identified on the Thomson Reuters "highly-cited researchers 2014&2015" list, Bing Xu currently is a professor in the Department of Chemistry, Brandeis University, and his research focuses on the applications of molecular engineering in materials, biology, and medicine.

Abstract

Stretchable functional materials are enabling ingredients for the fabrication of wearable electronics, smart prosthetics and soft robotics. These applications require the integration of electronic, optical and actuation capabilities on soft, conformable and biocompatible polymeric substrates [1].

Recently it has been demonstrated that neutral metallic nanoparticles produced in the gas phase and aerodynamically accelerated in a supersonic expansion can be implanted in a polymeric substrate to form a conductive nanocomposite with superior resilience and interesting structural and functional properties [2-4]. This approach is called supersonic cluster beam implantation (SCBI).

Here I present experimental and theoretical results about the production of devices based on...

BIO: Dr. Shuichiro MIWA earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University in 2008, 2012, respectively. He earned his B.S. in Civil/ Environmental Engineering at Purdue in 2005. Following his doctorate, he joined the Division of Energy and Environmental Systems at Hokkaido University as an assistant professor and conducting research at the laboratory of nuclear system safety. His research interests include nuclear thermal-hydraulics, gas-liquid two-phase flow experiments and modeling, and Fukushima Daiichi decommissioning support.

Ruth A Byrne, PhD; Medical University of Vienna, Austria.

For the last ten years, Dr. Byrne has studied cephalopods at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, universities in the USA and Israel, and beneath the pristine waters of the Caribbean. She first investigated behavioral lateralization and arm use in the Common Octopus, and subsequently the complex body pattern communication system of the Caribbean Reef Squid. Most recently, she has been working on human cell biology.
