WINDS 2021 provides increased flexibility due to the ongoing pandemic: In case of late cancellations, workshop registration fees are fully refunded and the hotel allows full refunds if the room is cancelled 7 days before the beginning of the reservation.
We strongly advise to regularly check the latest travel regulations with your airline. In addition, we strongly recommend checking federal US regulations (US Department of State and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and Hawaiian regulations (Hawaii COVID-19 FAQs and Hawaii Travel Requirements).
The Workshop on Innovative Nanoscale Devices and Systems (WINDS) is a week long, international, and interactive workshop designed to explore the fundamental properties of nanoscale devices and applications thereof. The workshop is composed of morning and evening sessions, with afternoons free for ad hoc meetings to encourage extended interaction and discussion among participants.
WINDS provides a forum for material, device, and characterization as well as experimental and modeling researchers to interact. This breadth of expertise reflects the technical challenges in developing nanoscale devices and material systems, since every device is a heterostructure of one form or another and the properties of the interfaces often determine the functionality and properties of the nanoscale system. The WINDS workshop is designed to explore the fundamental properties of such nanoscale heterostructures and potential device applications.
The workshop is the successor of the original WINDS and the International Symposium on Advanced Nanodevices and Nanotechnology (ISANN), which were held on alternate years. WINDS itself began as an outgrowth of the successful Advanced Heterostructures Workshop, which has a long history dating from the 1980s.
WINDS 2021 is endorsed by the American Vacuum Society (AVS).
