Since 2003, the Forum on Nanotechnology Forum between U.S. and Korea has been held at alternating countries. The forum focuses on enhancing research collaboration in the field of nanotechnology conversion among scientists and engineers from both countries. Specifically, a joint forum facilitates networking between the research communities and agencies of both countries, enabling each side to exchange information and explore opportunities for research collaboration. This year the topics are nanomedicine focusing on single-cell level and sensors related to human cognition and brain research. The forum includes 8 senior presenters and 7 early-career presenters from U.S. and roughly equal number of Korean presenters will also participate. Organizing committee of this forum strives to place emphasis on diversity. This forum actively encourages partnerships in nanotechnology for breakthroughs in various topics, in addition to strengthening achievements and assessing the progress on recommendation made during the previous forums. All of the forum proceedings and findings are available on Carnegie Mellon's website for broad audiences. The contribution of this proposed forum is its ability to bring together a bi-national community of expert researchers and innovators who are working on the leading edge of nanomedicine focusing on single cell level and sensors related to human cognition. This forum will stimulate efforts to promote the above two areas by fully utilizing nanotechnology convergence to bio-information-cognitive technology. The outcome of this forum will lead to milestone and vigorous research collaboration of both countries where nanotechnology convergence will generate a great impact. As we enter the 4th industrial revolution, which is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres, the rapid increase in the enormous amount of data processed and stored led us to a need for an emerging field of technologies including human cognition and nanomedicine. To fully explore these technologies, nanotechnology convergence with bio-information-cognitive methods play a critical role. The following two topics will be scrutinized during this 16th Forum. (a) Nanomedicine focusing on single cell level: Current challenges in nanomedicine area involve i) long-term fate for newly developed materials (distribution in space and time) and how to integrate already-developed nano-materials into application synergistically, ii) the niche of nanomaterials, iii)changing the general paradigm of medical practice, iv) precisely monitoring patients for preventive medicine, v) personalized medicine, vi) batch-to-batch consistency validation, vii) need for safer biomaterial, and viii) ability to target moving parts. Due to the importance of single-cell nanomedicine, this topic will be examined during the consecutive forums. (B) Sensors related to human cognition and brain research: Key technical components of human performance modification (HPM) are the nanosensors. Novel nanosensors that are capable of new functions allowing an era in HPM will be investigated. This technology includes an image processing unit and an artificial intelligence unit to name a few. With added sensory inputs and augmented sensors, ultimately HPM can drastically enhance human performance on a daily basis. The convergence of nanotechnology is likely to result in the development of novel sensor technologies that can advance in HPM including vision, audition, gustation, olfaction, and somatosensation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

自2003年以来，美国和韩国之间的纳米技术论坛在交替国家举行。该论坛致力于加强两国科学家和工程师之间纳米技术转化领域的研究合作。具体而言，一个联合论坛促进了研究社区与两国机构之间的建立联系，使双方都可以交换信息并探索研究合作的机会。今年的主题是纳米医学，专注于单细胞水平和与人类认知和大脑研究有关的传感器。该论坛包括来自美国的8位高级主持人和7位早期职业演示者，大约相等的韩国演示者也将参加。该论坛的组织委员会致力于强调多样性。该论坛积极鼓励纳米技术的合作伙伴关系，除了加强成就并评估以前论坛期间的建议进度外，还可以在各种主题中进行突破。所有论坛的诉讼和调查结果均可在卡内基·梅隆（Carnegie Mellon）的广泛观众网站上找到。这个拟议的论坛的贡献是它有能力将一个由专家研究人员和创新者组成的两国社区，这些研究人员和创新者都在纳米医学的领先地位，重点关注单细胞水平和与人类认知相关的传感器。该论坛将通过充分利用纳米技术融合到生物信息认知技术来刺激促进上述两个领域的努力。这个论坛的结果将导致两国的里程碑和积极的研究合作，纳米技术会聚将产生巨大影响。当我们进入第四次工业革命时，该革命的特征是融合了模糊物理，数字和生物领域之间界限的技术，因此处理和存储的大量数据的迅速增加导致我们需要一个新兴的技术领域，包括人类认知和纳米药。为了充分探索这些技术，纳米技术与生物信息认知方法的收敛起着至关重要的作用。在这个第16个论坛上将审查以下两个主题。 （a）关注单细胞水平的纳米医学：纳米医学区域的当前挑战涉及i）新开发的材料的长期命运（时空分布）以及如何将已经发达的纳米物质结合到应用中，以协同效应，ii ii）纳米疗法的何种疗法，ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii iv）iiv）iiv）iv）iv）iv）医学，vi）批处理一致性验证，vii）需要更安全的生物材料和viii）靶向运动部件的能力。由于单细胞纳米医学的重要性，该主题将在连续论坛中进行研究。 （b）与人类认知和大脑研究有关的传感器：人类性能修饰的关键技术组成部分（HPM）是纳米传感器。将研究允许HPM时代的新功能的新型纳米传感器。该技术包括一个图像处理单元和一个人工智能单元，仅举几例。随着增加的感官输入和增强传感器，HPM最终每天都可以大大提高人类的性能。纳米技术的融合可能会导致新型传感器技术的发展，这些技术可以在HPM中进步，包括视觉，试听，阵阵，阵阵化，嗅觉和体感应。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和广泛影响的评估来评估Criteria的智力。
