Abstract:

Why should statistical methods be useful for nanotechnology work? What new features of the research are due to the nano scale? This talk will give a summary of work at the nano-statistics research group at Georgia Tech. Several aspects will be considered: design of experiments, robustness of nanowire growth to process conditions, new statistical modeling to supplement nano-mechanistic modeling in quantifying the elasticity of nanobelts, a new global optimization algorithm motivated by the desire to conduct efficient sequential experiments for growing nanomaterials. Real experimental data in the nanomaterial research group of Z. L. Wang at GT will be used for illustration.
