This overarching objective stems from its partnership with UCLA; its role as a Governor Gray Davis Institute for Science and Innovation (ISI); as well as a valuation of nanoscale science as the vanguard of scientific and economic progress. UCSB / UCLA Partnership The California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) is an integrated research facility with locations at UCSB and UCLA. CNSI members represent a multi-disciplinary team of some of the world's preeminent scientists from the life and physical sciences, engineering, and medicine. The work at CNSI-UCSB focuses on three targeted areas of nanosystems-related research: Biotechnology; Energy Efficiency; and Information Technology. By combining the resources, expertise, and facilities, CNSI endeavors to encourage university collaboration with industry and to enable the rapid commercialization of discoveries in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Visionary Investment As a Governor Gray Davis Institute for Science and Innovation (ISI), CNSI builds on a visionary investment in future education, research, and technological resources, seeded and supported by the State of California. CNSI also builds upon the existing collaborative strengths of its on- campus participants, and seeks new alliances with industry, universities, and national laboratories. The vision of the CNSI is to establish a coherent and distinctive organization that serves California and the nation, embedded on the UCSB and UCLA campuses. The CNSI is a world-class intellectual and physical environment—a collaborative center that will generate ideas, discoveries, and the talent that will continue to fuel innovation in nanosystems. Science and the Economy In the 21st century, both science and the economy will require technological discoveries in the control of nanometer scale structure and functions, where the top-down approach of electronics manufacture converges with the bottom-up assembly principles of biology. CNSI has chosen to focus on the scientific and technological richness of new advances made possible by the integration of engineered nanoscale building blocks into complex systems. Major Breakthroughs CNSI anticipates the centrality of nanoscale technologies as the major source of scientific breakthroughs in this new millennium. An understanding of how to manipulate, control, and manufacture at the nanometer scale will drive innovation at the highest levels. The rewards of such understanding lie in the formation of engineered materials with exceptional strength, elasticity, sensitivity, and intelligence. Control of materials at the nanometer scale will ensure the creation of compact, complex, and multifunctional systems at the macro-scale, dramatically augmenting the current capabilities of communication, computation, medical therapy, and environmental remediation. CNSI Annual Report - 2016-2017 Fiscal Year 1 DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT CNSI continues to work with campus-wide stakeholders to leverage the combined strengths of nanoscience and nanotechnology research at UC Santa Barbara to foster a world-leading nexus of research, education, and translational activities. To increase campus-wide engagement and collaboration, the CNSI leadership has devoted considerable effort during the 2016-2017 academic year to identify and develop strategic initiatives in (1) Research, (2) Shared Resources and Facilities, (3) Entrepreneurship, and (4) Education, Outreach, and Workforce Development. Research The long standing strength of CNSI in grant management and proposal submission has significantly impacted numerous key initiatives within the broad Science and Engineering effort at UCSB. During FY 2016-2017, 44 extramural awards representing over $25 million in funding was administered, impacting over 70 Principal Investigators. To further catalyze collaborative research and the development of junior faculty, CNSI has continued to refine and invest in the Challenge Grants program which is a long-term partnership with Dr. Meredith Murr and the UCSB Office of Research. The ultimate aim is to incubate large-scale research centers within CNSI and to allow campus researchers to compete on a national stage for these high profile, multi-PI grants. Unlike traditional seed-research funds, the Challenge Grant programs focus on creating collaborative interactions and preliminary results which allow faculty teams to be well positioned for highly competitive, high impact funding such as NSF Science and Technology Centers, NIH U01s, or DOE Energy Frontier Research Centers. During the past year we launched the Challenge Grant New Partnerships Program which is designed to fill a significant need at UCSB for catalyzing new interdisciplinary collaborations that may require preliminary data needed to apply for a collaborative research grant. These awards support direct costs of up to $50,000 over a period of 12 months, and successful teams can apply for a follow-up Program Development Challenge Grant. Four initial New Partnership Awards involving 8 PIs (4 of whom are Assistant Professors) were initiated this year and we have continued to invest in more mature collaborative projects through the award of three new Program Development Grants in 2017. To illustrate the success of the overall Challenge Grant scheme in FY 2016-17, PIs submitted 15 funding proposals to government agencies and foundations for a requested total of over $35 million with 4 proposals being funded this year including a $1.625 million grant from the American Diabetes Association and a $500,000 grant from the Juvenille Diabetes Research Foundation. Shared Resources and Facilities CNSI continues to provide mission-critical, open-access shared facilities for UCSB and the wider California research community. Success in funding applications and significant investment in CNSI Annual Report - 2016-2017 Fiscal Year 2 DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT new equipment has allowed all CNSI facilities to increase their impact across all of campus. Over 10 major pieces of new equipment were installed this year with particular highlights being two successful MRI proposals leading to the acquisition of a state-of-the-art high-performance computer cluster and a unique RAMAN microscope system, the latter being the first such system at UCSB. The combined shared resources at CNSI have served more than 700 users from over 20 departments and ORUs resulting in 100+ publications citing support from CNSI facilities. The Center for Scientific Computing (jointly operated with the Materials Research Laboratory) continues to be the de facto high performance computing center at UCSB and is providing an expanding leadership role on campus and within the greater UC system. Entrepreneurship The most important entrepreneurial activities within CNSI this year were focused on implementing California legislation AB2664 and the expansion of dedicated wet-laboratory and office space for UCSB affiliated start-up companies. AB2664 will allow the relocation of these activities to a larger space in Elings Hall, installation of additional fume hoods, and the construction of supporting office space. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2017. As part of AB2664, CNSI will also create a Makerspace multi-user facility with funds being leveraged to purchase a suite of equipment that will enable teams to rapidly create prototype products. In 2017, CNSI again partnered with TMP to sponsor three prizes in the New Venture Competition. In addition to the Virgil Elings Prize of $5,000, CNSI sponsored a $5,000 People’s Choice award, and the top technology-driven company in the competition was offered a 3- month incubator membership. Education, Outreach, and Workforce Development The Center for Science and Engineering Partnerships (CSEP) continues to have a major effect on numerous single-PI and multi-PI research programs at UCSB. By offering scientific training through undergraduate research opportunities, scholarships, bridge programs, industry internships, and mentoring/networking initiatives, CSEP engaged with ~10,000 students this year and provides professional preparation and career transition for more than 2000 UCSB undergraduate, PhD and postdoctoral research trainees each year. The CNSI Education and Outreach programs mentor and train a diverse group of young scientists to become leaders in academia, industry, or government while extending University impact by building meaningful relationships with Californians beyond the UC system. This can be easily recognized by the breadth of CSEP engagements

  • March 2010 Booklet
    DPOLYMarch 2010 Meeting Program including Soft-Matter Physics sessions TM 2010 APS March Meeting • March 15–19 • Portland, Oregon DPOLY Short Course Polymers for Energy Generation and Storage March 13, 1:00 - 5:30 and March 14, 8:30 – 5:30 Oregon Convention Center Course Description Polymers hold much promise as active layers in inexpensive, lightweight energy generating and storing devices. Although the solid state physics and electrochemistry of such devices have been the subject of intense research, it has more recently become clear that an understanding of the polymer physics will lead to both an ability to control nanoscale morphology and optimize transport across the material. The purpose of this short course is to provide a background in the basic device physics of both organic photovoltaics and batteries to an audience primarily consisting of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career scientists already knowledgeable in polymer physics. It is hoped that this forum will both provide a basic foundation of knowledge as well as a deeper discussion of outstanding problems and avenues of research in energy relevant polymers. Each half of the course will begin by covering the basic underlying physics of charge/ion transport as well as device operation. Then our current understanding of the thermodynamics, morphology, self-assembly, and mechanisms of charge transport within these systems will be outlined with significant time reserved for discussion of gaps in current understanding and promising areas of future research. The course schedule allows for talks from each of the below speakers with ample time for discussion and interaction. This is roughly the schedule that has been followed by recent DPOLY short courses.
