Dedication
We dedicate this special issue of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research to the late Professor Mark A. Shannon, the James W. Bayne Professor in the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Professor Shannon served both as Director of the Center of Advanced Materials for the Purification of Water with Systems and the Micro-Nano-Mechanical Systems Laboratory at UIUC. He made significant contributions to many areas of “Nanotechnology for Sustainable Development” including water purification, micro/nanofabrication, micro/nanofluidics and analytical chemistry. Professor Shannon was also the co-founder of Cbana Labs, Inc, a UIUC spin off company that is developing and commercializing micro-gas chromatograph analyzers. In addition to being an exceptional scientist/engineer, Mark was a great human being who cared about others. He was a passionate advocate for global water sustainability and worked tirelessly to advance the science, technology and availability of clean water. Mark also worked hard to promote international collaboration in water science and technology. During his last international trip, he traveled to South Korea to give a keynote presentation on “The Coming Revolution in Water Impacting Energy and Health” for the 2010 KAIST EEWS International Workshop. Professor Shannon passed away on Sunday, October 14, 2012 in Urbana-Champaign. We miss his leadership and deep insight into water science, engineering and technology.

This edition of the special issue of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research (JNR) devoted to “Nanotechnology for Sustainable Development” is a timely effort in an exciting research area where groundbreaking technological developments are taking place. The content of this special JNR issue is based primarily on invited articles derived from the presentations and discussions during two international conferences that were held at the California Institute of Technology in 2011: 1) The Eighth US-Korea Forum on Nanotechnology: (http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/org/nanotechnology-forum/ Forum_8/GeneralInfo.htm). 2) The Resnick Sustainability Institute Workshop on Critical Materials for Energy Generation and Storage (http://resnick.caltech.edu/e-critical-materials.php). We thank all the participants and speakers of both meetings. For the Eight US-Korea Nanotechnology Forum, we thank the Korean co-organizers of the conference: 1) Prof. Jo Won Lee of Hanyang University, Mr. Chang Woo Kim, Director General of the National Nanotechnology Policy Center (NNPC) of Korea and Dr. Dae Sup So of Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI). For the Resnick Institute Critical Materials Workshop, we thank the session leaders and report co-editors: Prof. Roderick Eggert (Colorado School of Mines) and Jack Lifton (Co-founding Principal of Technology Metals Research). We also thank Dr. Mihail Roco (NSF Senior Advisor for Nanotechnology and JNR Editor-In-Chief) and the JNR staff for their constant support throughout the edition of this special issue. We greatly appreciate Dr. Roco’s leadership in helping bring sustainable development to the forefront of the nanotechnology research agenda worldwide.

Prior to his arrival at the Resnick Institute, Neil Fromer was the Director of Advanced Projects and the Director of Reliability and Testing for Soliant Energy, a concentrating photovoltaic company. While at Soliant, Neil directed the development, testing and certification of a new solar panel, designed specifically to generate the most energy on commercial rooftops. During this time, Neil was actively involved in defining the certification process of this new panel, and was responsible for Soliant receiving the first certification to the UL8703 safety certification for concentrating PV systems. Neil is still active on the technical review panel for UL8703. Previously, Neil worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, developing new low-cost solar cells from inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles, and also on the commercialization of energy efficient LED light bulbs and fixtures. Dr. Myung S. Jhon is a Professor of Chemical Engineering, a member of the Data Storage Systems Center and the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Professor Jhon received his B.S. in Physics from Seoul National University, Korea, and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Chicago. He served as a visiting professor at the U.S. Department of Energy (National Energy Technology Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories), University of California at Berkeley, IBM Almaden Research Center, and the Naval Research Laboratory. He also served as a consultant to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. During his leave of absence from Carnegie Mellon, he served as the President & CEO of Doosan DND Co., Ltd and also served as a World Class University Professor at Sungkyunkwan University in Korea. Professor Jhon's research focuses on the fundamentals in engineering science and their application to the state-of-the-art engineering problems. He has contributed over 400 publications in the areas of nanotechnology, computational methods, information storage systems, semiconductors, equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, nucleation, fluid and solid mechanics, interfacial dynamics, polymer engineering, rheology, fuel cell, multiphase flow, tribology, chemical kinetics, and organic light-emitting devices & chemical mechanical polishing equipment.
