7th Annual NCN-NEEDS Summer School:

Spintronics: Science, Circuits, and Systems

What: NCN-NEEDS Summer Schools connect the fundamental nanoscience of materials and devices to circuit and system level applications. The goal is to introduce students to new ideas and approaches emerging from research in nanoscience. A new partnership with NEEDS seeks to connect fundamental nanoscience to applications. Lectures are designed to be broadly accessible to students with a B.S. in engineering or physical sciences. The goal is to provide students with an understanding of how effects at the nanoscale can be exploited in novel devices and to provide a glimpse at the new applications that are possible. Previous summer school lectures can be viewed at: https://nanohub.org/topics/ElectronicsFromTheBottomUp

Where: Purdue University, Martin Jischke Hall (MJIS) Room 1001

West Lafayette, IN, 47907

When: Wednesday, July 23 through Friday, July 25, 2015

8:00AM- 5:30PM

Who: Graduate students, working professionals, and faculty working on

electronic devices and materials

Topics: Spintronics including fundamental science, experimental considerations, device designs, and circuit and system level applications.
