About the Webinar
A three-day webinar series was organized and accomplished on the 4 th , 5 th, and 6 th of October,2020 by the Ryan Publishers team. It was fortunate to have three different resource persons, Dr. Vinod Kumar V (Post Doctoral Associate @ Water Tech laboratory, The Water Research School of Mechanical Engineering, Tel Aviv University, Israel), Dr.Madhurantakam Sasya (JSPS Post Doctoral Fellow @ Department of Molecular Physiology Niigata Medical University, Niigata, Japan) and Dr. Ganesh Kumar Mani (JSPS Post Doctoral Fellow @ Micro/Nano Technology Center, Tokai University, Japan), share their individual ideas on nanotechnology on a common platform. Each session carried the very essence of nanotechnology and its application in various fields. The participants had an effective and meaningful interaction with each resource person at the close of each session.

In thinking about nanotechnology today, what’s most important is understanding where it leads, what nanotechnology will look like after we reach the assembler breakthrough.—K. Eric Drexle
Comments from participants :
- The webinar was very good and.. suggestions 😊😊
- Thank you for organizing this webinar from wonderful researchers and their excellent presentation . This 3 Days webinar helped me to know more about nanotechnology.
- The webinar was very well presented. As a new comer to the field of Nanotechnology, the talks were really helpful for me to get an overview of the field. Please keep doing such webinars in future.
- Your 3 day webinar on nanotechnology is very good and knowledgeable.. And it’s also interesting to know about recent updates.. As i’m interested to pursue my higher studies in nanotech.. this webinar seems to be very useful for me.. And the speakers were really good.. that is the way the explained about the things, were easy to capture… And finally i wish that you will conduct these type of webinar in future also.. Thank you
- Satisfactory… looking forward for further projects like this.
