Prof.
Dr. Hans-Joachim Guentherod
Head of Swiss National Center of Competence in Research in Nanoscience
Professor Guentherodt will be one of the keynote speakers at Nanotech 2003. Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Guentherodt heads the Swiss National Center of Competence in Research in Nanoscience (NCCR) as well as a research group at the Institute of Physics at University of Basel/Switzerland. Prof. Guentherodt was also involved in the creation of the Virtual Nanoscience Laboratory. The NCCR in Nanoscience is a long-term interdisciplinary research effort focusing on nanoscale structures and aiming to provide new impact and ideas for the life sciences, for the sustainable use of resources, and for information and communication technologies. Within the framework of the federal program "Swiss Virtual Campus", an interdiciplinary team is developing a Virtual Nanoscience Laboratory for students of natural sciences and pharmacy.
Dr. Christoph Gerber
IBM Zurich Research Laboratory
Dr. Christoph Gerber's research focus at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory are next generation cantilevers. Cantilevers can be used not only for imaging in scanning force microscopy, but also as an important tool to explore the physics and chemistry of the nanometer world. A thin flexible beam made of silicon coated with a sensor layer serves as a chemical sensor. Eight cantilevers aligned in a row form a nanomechanical cantilever sensor array, which can detect small amounts of analytes via very specific reactions. The analyte can also be characterized via its diffusion properties through the coating, e.g. a polymer layer. www.zurich.ibm.com/st/nanoscience. IBM has maintained its Research Laboratory in Switzerland since 1956, located on its own campus in Rüschlikon near Zurich since 1962. As the European branch of IBM Research, the mission of the lab - in addition to pursuing research - is to cultivate close relationships with academic and industrial partners, to tap research talent in Europe, and especially to keep abreast of technical fields in which Europe is the global leader.

Petros Koumoutsakos has been full Professor of Computational Science
at ETH Zurich since July 2000. He studied at the National Technical University
of Athens (1981-1986) and received his Diploma in Naval Architecture and
Mechanical Engineering. He received a Master's degree (1987) in Naval
Architecture from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He continued
his graduate studies at the California Institute of Technology where he
received a Master's degree in Aeronautics (1988) and a PhD in Aeronautics
and Applied Mathematics (1992). During 1992-1994 he was a National Science
Foundation postdoctoral fellow in parallel supercomputing at Caltech.
Since 1994 he has been a senior research associate and maintains an active
affiliation with the Center for Turbulence Research (CTR) at NASA Ames/Stanford
University. From September 1997 to June 2000 he had been an assistant
professor in Computational Fluid Dynamics at ETH Zurich. Since October
1999 he is a member of the Center for Computational Astrobiology at NASA
Ames/Stanford University.
His research activities are in the areas of particle methods and biologically
inspired computation and the application of these techniques to problems
of interest in the areas of nanotechnology, optimization and systems biology.
G. Boero was born in Italy, in 1969. He received his Diploma in physics from the Genoa University (Genoa, Italy) in 1994. He finished his studies with a Laurea thesis about clusterized gas beams for particle physics experiments, carried out FNAL (Batavia, USA). From 1994 to 1996, he was at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) and at FNAL (Batavia, USA) working mainly on clusterized and atomic gas beams. In 1996, he joined EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) to work on miniaturized nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR) probes, where he obtained his PhD in 2000. His current research interests are in the development of new detection methods for magnetic resonance experiments on microscopic samples.
