Dr. Samukawa gives invited lecture at the 3rd International Conference on Nanoenergy and Nanosystems; also visits Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems, CAS (Oct. 21-23, 2017)
Dr. Samukawa was invited to the 3rd International Conference on Nanoenergy and Nanosystems (held in Beijing from Oct. 21-23) sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and gave an invited lecture.
This meeting is an international conference organized to academically deepen environmental power generation based on piezoelectric and triboelectric pioneered by Prof. Zhong Lin Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Prof. Wang has moved his base to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which sponsors this conference.
It is held with the aims of nurturing a new academic field that fuses piezoelectric, semiconductors, and optics (photovoltaic cells, LED) and nurturing young people (especially in China). Dr. Hu, who was an assistant professor at the Samukawa Laboratory, is a professor here, and at his strong recommendation, Dr. Samukawa was the only Japanese person to be invited. He gave a lecture on nano-energy devices centered on quantum dots. It is no exaggeration to say that China now leads the world in such nano-scale power generation. By presenting to this community Samukawa Laboratory's research, meaningful collaboration can be expected in the future.
After the international conference, Dr. Samukawa also visited CAS and hosted a seminar, and discussed many things with young researchers. Dr. Samukawa found it very stimulating. Dr. Hu's laboratory has very well-developed research facilities and has published many papers in journals high impact factors, such as ACS Nano, Advanced Materials, and Nano Energy. We have high hopes for future collaboration.
