(December 10, 2009) NIMS recently signed a comprehensive collaborative agreement with Northwestern University (NU), which is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The agreement was signed by Dr. Daniel Linzer, Provost, Chief Academic Officer of NU and Prof. Sukekatsu Ushioda, President of NIMS on the occasion of a visit by Prof. Robert P. H. Chang, the Director of the Materials Research Institute of NU, who also attended the MRS-Japan 20th Anniversary Symposium.
This agreement will not only reinforce the existing collaboration between NU and NIMS in the fields of 3-D structural analysis and semiconductor nanowires, but also envisions new collaborations and exchanges of researchers. While at NIMS, Prof. Chang visited researchers at several centers, where he exchanged information and engaged in serious discussions on new collaboration.
