Nanotechnology – Invent, Build, and Work

Results from nanotech investigations relentlessly predict that “nano” will have more impact on our society than plastic materials. Applications range from self-cleaning windows to targeted cancer therapy as well as from space elevators to autonomous nano-robot (nanobot) colonies. Tireless efforts of the government, industry and academia are spent towards making such nanotechnological advancements functional and accessible. However, there are currently no studies on the long-term health and environmental impacts. There is also no international consensus on how to even classify a nanomaterial. This seminar will help to improve the awareness of “nano” as well as to hopefully better engage public opinion in future nanotech developments and policy.

Mr. Dmitry Maznichenko (M.A.Sc) is a project EIT at Pure Technologies Ltd. With an international client reach, Pure drives innovative engineering applications in diverse programs of physical infrastructure inspection, monitoring, and management. Dmitry’s previous experience was product development at Open ND (TM), which manufactures nano-enhanced materials for an increasing variety of applications. Dmitry’s graduate research was in the multi-disciplinary field of nanotechnology which included molecular chemistry and laser physics. Dmitry is also passionate about teaching and contributing to sustainable communities.
