Nanoscience and nanotechnology deal with matter at the billionth of a meter scale, creating new knowledge through advanced scientific research. Nanotechnology, projected to become a multi-trillion-dollar industry is rapidly penetrating every industry sector as the new knowledge is translated to real-life applications. Several ground-breaking discoveries led to new product developments which include smart phones, high-performance batteries, solar cells, computers, and mRNA vaccines. At this conference, scientists and engineers from all disciplines will converge to a common platform, sharing their knowledge through presentations. NanoFlorida is an interdisciplinary event, bringing together researchers, government agency representatives, industry professionals, and students poised to become the next generation of leaders in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The University of Central Florida is hosting the 15th Annual NanoFlorida conference, scheduled for March 3 - 5, 2023, which is led by graduate and undergraduate students and expected to attract a large and diverse student population from across Florida and beyond. The event hosts a panel of faculty advisors and invited speakers who are experts in the field and committed to student engagement and learning. The event features several important topics including nanophotonics, nano-optics, nanobiotechnology, nanochemistry, nanomaterials, agricultural and environmental nanotechnology, nanoelectronics, nanophysics, theoretical nanotechnology and computational nanotechnology. The conference supports students, providing a platform for the dissemination of their research results and offering extensive opportunities for engagement, learning, and networking. This conference is unique in that it is student-led and designed to maximize student benefits in developments of leadership, communication, and networking skills. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are rapidly growing fields that are highly interdisciplinary in nature. Nano-enabled technologies are penetrating the marketplace at an unprecedented rate, directly contributing to a trillion-dollar economy, benefiting society. To keep up with the rapid advancement of scientific nanoscale research, there is a strong need to develop the next generation of nano scientists and engineers . The annual NanoFlorida conference, scheduled for March 3 - 5, 2023, provides a unique platform for students and nano-professionals to exchange scientific knowledge through various methods of interaction, including invited presentations, roundtable discussions, and networking sessions. The University of Central Florida is hosting the fifteenth NanoFlorida 2023 conference, an established event that was initiated for the first time in the state of Florida in 2008 by the PI, thus the conference this year represents a homecoming event. This conference project provides full support to student presenters to attend and disseminate their research findings. To accommodate all student presenters, this conference features several topics of interests including nanophotonics, nano-optics, nanobiotechnology, nanochemistry, nanomaterials, agricultural and environmental nanotechnology, nanoelectronics, nanophysics, theoretical nanotechnology, and computational nanotechnology. The objective of this project is to support the engagement of students, faculty, and industry professionals by increasing student participation and maximizing their networking and presentation skill development.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.

纳米科学和纳米技术处理十亿分之一米尺度的物质，通过先进的科学研究创造新知识。随着新知识转化为现实生活中的应用，预计将成为价值数万亿美元的产业的纳米技术正在迅速渗透到各个行业领域。几项突破性的发现促进了新产品的开发，包括智能手机、高性能电池、太阳能电池、计算机和 mRNA 疫苗。在这次会议上，来自各个学科的科学家和工程师将聚集在一个共同的平台上，通过演讲分享他们的知识。 NanoFlorida 是一项跨学科活动，汇聚了研究人员、政府机构代表、行业专业人士和准备成为纳米科学和纳米技术领域下一代领导者的学生。中佛罗里达大学将于 2023 年 3 月 3 日至 5 日举办第 15 届年度纳米佛罗里达会议，该会议由研究生和本科生主持，预计将吸引来自佛罗里达州及其他地区的大量多样化的学生群体。该活动由教师顾问小组和受邀演讲者组成，他们是该领域的专家，致力于学生的参与和学习。该活动包括几个重要主题，包括纳米光子学、纳米光学、纳米生物技术、纳米化学、纳米材料、农业和环境纳米技术、纳米电子学、纳米物理学、理论纳米技术和计算纳米技术。该会议为学生提供支持，提供传播研究成果的平台，并提供广泛的参与、学习和交流机会。这次会议的独特之处在于它是由学生主导的，旨在最大限度地提高学生在领导力、沟通和网络技能发展方面的利益。纳米科学和纳米技术是快速发展的领域，本质上是高度跨学科的。纳米技术正以前所未有的速度渗透市场，直接促进万亿美元的经济，造福社会。为了跟上纳米科学研究的快速发展，迫切需要培养下一代纳米科学家和工程师。年度纳米佛罗里达会议定于 2023 年 3 月 3 日至 5 日举行，为学生和纳米专业人士提供了一个独特的平台，通过各种互动方式（包括受邀演讲、圆桌讨论和网络会议）交流科学知识。 中佛罗里达大学正在主办第十五届 NanoFlorida 2023 会议，这是一项既定活动，由 PI 于 2008 年首次在佛罗里达州发起，因此今年的会议是一次返校活动。该会议项目为学生演讲者参加和传播他们的研究成果提供全力支持。为了适应所有学生演讲者的需求，本次会议涵盖了多个感兴趣的主题，包括纳米光子学、纳米光学、纳米生物技术、纳米化学、纳米材料、农业和环境纳米技术、纳米电子学、纳米物理学、理论纳米技术和计算纳米技术。 该项目的目标是通过提高学生的参与度并最大限度地提高他们的网络和演示技能发展来支持学生、教师和行业专业人士的参与。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
