About the Workshop
Prof. Jen-Hwa Hsu, National Taiwan University, Taiwan
The First International Workshop on Advanced Nanomaterials (FIWAN’13) is proposed to be organized
by the National Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, University of Madras in association with
Centre for Research and Advanced Studies of IPN, México and University of South Africa, South Africa
during 16th – 18th September 2013. The theme of the workshop is to emphasize the significance of the
advanced Nanomaterials preparations, various characterizations and their potential applications. This
would be a great multidisciplinary platform for the interaction with reputed scientists, academicians and
industrialists. It also opens up avenues by bringing the recent researches for industrial applications for
the societal development and human well being.
