October 11, 2007 - Innovation Valley Nano Alliance Monthly Meeting
8:00-9:30 am @ Tech 2020
Software Advances in Nanotech Modeling
Dr. Klaus Stark, Senior Solutions Scientist, Accelrys

This month's speaker will be Dr. Klaus Stark, Senior Solutions Scientist with Accelrys. Accelrys' state-of-the-art nanotechnology software tools, all offered in the Materials Studio software environment, have a proven track record of enhancing nanotechnology R&D in a plethora of applications, such as nanoelectronics, devices, displays, coatings, drug delivery and nanocomposite materials.

Dr. Klaus Stark studied chemistry in Bielefeld, Germany and finished his diploma thesis in theoretical chemistry in 1991. During his PhD research he worked on the energetics and reaction dynamics of small molecular systems using highly correlated ab initio techniques and quasi-classical trajectory as well as quantum dynamics methods.

He was awarded Dr. rer. nat. in April 1996 from the University of Stuttgart, Germany under the supervision of Prof. Dr. H.-J. Werner. During his post-doctoral research at the Physics Department of the University of Bielefeld (Group of Prof. Dr. H.-O. Lutz), Dr. Stark studied molecular collisions and Coulomb explosions by means of ab initio and Monte Carlo simulations.

Dr. Stark joined MSI as an Applications Scientist on September 1, 1997. In September 2001, he took responsibility for Accelrys’s quantum mechanics products as Product Manager in San Diego, CA and is now working from Houston, TX as a Senior Lead Scientist.

There is no fee to attend the Innovation Valley Nano Alliance meeting. Please register by emailing rsvp@tech2020.org or calling 865-220-2020.

The Innovation Valley Nano Alliance meets on the 2nd Thursday of every month, 8:00-9:30 am at Tech 2020.
