Topic: Power to the People: Plug-ins, Hybrids & Batteries

What does the future hold for electric vehicles, plug-in electric hybrids and revolutionary battery technologies? Come find out at the Nano Lunch, sponsored by the International Association of Nanotechnology, on Thursday, July 24, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM.

Dr. Chris Mi, Chief Technical Officer of 1Power Solutions, Inc, will discuss the pros and cons of HEV’s (hybrid electric vehicles), energy storage challenges, power electronics, emerging issues in HEV and new opportunities in HEV-related fields. We will also show clips from the controversial documentary, “Who Killed the Electric Car?”

Dr. Mi is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan, Dearborn. He regularly offers a graduate course in electric and hybrid vehicles. He has also taught courses and led seminars on the subject for the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. He has conducted extensive research and published more than 100 articles on power electrics, motor drives, electric and hybrid vehicles.

1Power Solutions, Inc. specializes in battery management system (BMS) and battery packaging integration for systems integrators. In addition, 1Power has developed patent-pending charge balance ICs (BIC) that ensure all battery cells are charged within +/- 2mV.

We will also welcome guest speaker Jerry Pohorsky, Silicon Valley Chapter President of the Electric Automobile Association, who will discuss the latest developments in the
arena of electric vehicles. The EAA is a nonprofit organization formed in 1967 to promote the use of electrical vehicles as a viable transportation alternative that is efficient, economical and ecological.

Our NanoLunch Seminar series is held every Thursday from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM and feature presentations, open discussions and networking opportunities with industry leaders.

Summary

The rise of green jobs and accelerating cost reduction with photovoltaic power with be the topics of discussing during this month’s Nano Bio Clean Tech Forum on Tuesday, June 24, sponsored by the Clean Tech Institute in conjunction with the International Association of Nanotechnology.

Kate Gordon, program director with the Apollo Alliance in San Francisco, will focus on what role industry or business can play in the promotion of green jobs. She will also talk about the connections between government policy and demands within the green job sector. Gordon has served on many energy policy committees including the Midwest Agriculture Energy Network, the National Wind Coordinating Committee and RE-AMP.

Guest speaker Charlie Gay, corporate vice president and general manager of the Solar Business Group at Applied Materials, will discuss ways to accelerate cost reduction with photovoltaic power. Charlie Gay is an industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience in the solar industry. He is also the co-founder of the Greenstar Foundation, an organization that delivers solar power and internet access for health, education and microenterprise projects to small villages in the developing world.

A third speaker who will address nanotechnology or clean tech may be added to the program. Speakers will answer questions from the audience after their respective presentations.

Registration Fee: $10 for members; $10 for CINANO Alumni; $20 for non-members and $30 at the door

About the Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum
The Forum is the premier venue to learn about the latest in nano research directly from the Bay Area's top research community, to hear about research and development priorities, and to discuss some of the social, economic and political implications of nanotechnology. In 2008, the theme is Prospects: from Ideal to Real, which represents nanotechnology’s transition between laboratory experiments and theory to real products and widely accepted technological advances. This year’s Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum features Dr. Supriyo Datta, the Thomas Duncan Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and Director of the NASA Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing, whose research focuses on electronic conduction in nanoscale devices; and Dr. Liwei Lin, a professor of Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley and Co-director of the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center, whose research is at the convergence of nano-bio-solar, using biomimetic photosynthetic electrochemical cells to produce solar power. Additionally, the Forum presents a special panel discussion of the Business of Nanotechnology, featuring Bay Area entrepreneurs and financiers. In the afternoon, there are four expert panel sessions, discussing the use of nanotechnology to improve medicine, electronics, solar energy, as well as nanotechnology’s implications in public policy. As always, the Nanotechnology Forum features a poster session with researchers from around the Bay Area presenting their cutting-edge work.

In the last few years, the Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum has had 300 - 500 attendees, representing 10 universities, national laboratories, and research institutions, and has exhibited roughly 60 posters, annually. The Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum is a student organized, annual conference held at the Haas School of Business, on the UC Berkeley Campus.
