Dr. Meyyappan: "I had the privilege of presenting the kickoff talk at this symposium a couple of years ago where I focused on introducing nanotechnology as an emerging field with a broad overview of the subject. It is an honor to return and I would take this opportunity to provide a progress report. I will cover carbon nanotubes in chemical and biosensors, as nanoelectrodes in biomedical applications and other applications that can make use of large surface areas. In many of the envisioned applications for nanotechnology - particularly in sensors, detectors, electronic devices, thermoelectric devices, etc., - inorganic nanowires have been coming up as strong candidates. Unlike carbon nanotubes, these nanowires cover materials across the periodic table and I will cover this comprehensively. Finally, time permitting, a status review of nanoelectronics will be provided." -- Meyya Meyyappan, August 2005

Meyya Meyyappan is Director of the Center for Nanotechnology as well as Senior ScientistÊ at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, CA http://www.ipt.arc.nasa.gov).Ê He is a founding member of the Interagency Working Group on Nanotechnology(IWGN) established by the Office of Science and Technology Policy(OSTP).Ê The IWGN is responsible for putting together the National Nanotechnology Initiative.

Dr. Meyyappan is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE). He is Fellow of the Electrochemical Society(ECS).Ê In addition, he is a member of American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), Materials Research Society, American Vacuum Society and American Institute of Chemical Engineers.Ê He is the IEEE Distinguished Lecturer on Nanotechnology and ASME's Distinguished Lecturer on Nanotechnology.Ê He is the President-elect of the IEEE's Nanotechnology Council.

For his work and leadership in nanotechnology, he was awarded NASA's Outstanding Leadership Medal and Arthur Flemming Award by the Arthur Flemming Foundation and George Washington University.Ê For his contributions to nanotechnology education and training, he received the 2003-2004 Engineer of the Year award by the San Francisco section of the AIAA(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics). In 2004, he was honored with the President's Meritorious Award for his contributions to nanotechnology.
