Nanotechnology is the current frontier of science, engineering and manufacturing technologies. IMI's Nanotechnology and Opportunities for Digital Printing short course provides a timely, critical overview of this vast field and its potential in the digital printing industry. Key topics include (1) history, evolution and economic/social impacts of Nanotechnology; (2) reviews of major research/technology areas and (3) discussion of opportunities to leverage Nanotechnology research/developments to fuel innovations in the digital printing industry.
The course materials cover a wide range of topics, from a general survey of the entire Nanotechnology field to the latest advances in key research areas to a discussion of using Nanotechnology to create new features in future printers - which are not accessible via conventional continuous engineering approaches. Scientists, engineers, managers and executives from industry and academia will find the information and insights beneficial to their research, new product development, planning and product implementation efforts.
For those not fully involved in Nanotechnology, they will benefit from seeing the entire landscape as well as the advanced research, product and social impacts offered to digital printing by Nanotechnology developments. For product development, research, product management, business management and executive personnel; IMI's Nanotechnology and Opportunities for Digital Printing Course's scope will allow them to become familiar with the field - enabling them to be more knowledgeable and productive in the workplace. Scientists, engineers and managers engaged in printing research, development and product planning will benefit by broadening their knowledge base and by being inspired to incorporate Nanotechnology in their research and product development efforts.

COURSE LEADER
Dr. Kock-Yee Law, Founder & CEO, Research and Innovative Solutions, Penfield, New York
Dr. Kock-Yee Law, Founder & CEO of Research and Innovation Solutions retired early from Xerox to pursue his passion in research, education and mentorship. The goal in his "second career" is to have fun by helping others succeed and facilitate more and better technologies to enrich humanity. Research and Innovative Solutions is a global provider of technical advices and education services to the high-tech industry.
Dr. Law has been an extremely prolific scientist. He has published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and filed over 100 US patent applications of which 75 were granted. He has spoken before numerous professional society meetings. Recently, Dr. Law has been active in the NSTI Nanotech Conference. He was co-organizer and chair for the Nanostructured Coatings, Surfaces and Films Symposium at Nanotech 2012.
Throughout the years, Dr. Law has conducted research in many different fields. His latest interest is in Nanotechnology, particularly micro, nanostructured surfaces, and the phenomena of wetting, adhesion and self-cleaning. He co-invented a self-cleaning polymer coating that is currently being implemented at Xerox. Dr. Law has also worked with nanomaterials and nanocomposites and was a world renowned scientist in the 1990's for his work in organic photoconductors, electronic spectroscopy and charge transfer phenomena.
Dr. Law started acquiring people, project and program management skills in the mid-1990's. In 1999, he ventured into product development. He championed global collaboration (with Fuji Xerox) and led cross organization teams to successfully develop office color printer technologies for Xerox products. Dr. Law has since become a competent practitioner in technology productization and innovation. He is a certified Lean-Six-Sigma Black Belt and is familiar with various quality and lean tools.
Dr. Law earned his BSc in Chemistry at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and his PhD in Photo-organic Chemistry from The University of Western Ontario.
In the spirit of continuous learning, Dr. Law also completed executive training courses at the California Institute of Technology on: "Management of Technology Innovation" in 2003 and "Strategic Marketing of Technology Products" in 2005.
