UMR CONNECTS~Rural Nanotechnology and Its Impact on Our Daily Lives
2012The development of nanotechnology in rural Minnesota is not just a dream. It is starting to flourish in the small rural community of Rushford. Topics to be covered are the Rushford Institute for Nanotechnology (RINTek), Rushford Hypersonic, Rushford NanoElectroChemistry Company, and the involvement with the public schools. The field is evolving fast and before too long everyone will be involved in nanotechnology in some way. It is arguably the largest change in industry since the industrial revolution. We will discuss how these changes will impact our daily lives and how we are working locally to take advantage of this in a rural setting and the progress that has been made. Speaker: Kevin Klungtvedt holds a B.E.E. in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota and has been in industry over 25 years, most of which has been spent in Rushford, MN. He has been working in rural nanotechnology since 2000.
