NiPS Summer School 2011 "Energy Harvesting at micro and nanoscale"
Perugia, Italy
August 1-6, 2011

The Noise in Physical System Laboratory organizes the 2011 NiPS Summer School devoted to "Energy Harvesting at micro and nanoscale" and the Workshop "Energy management at micro and nanoscale".

The school, supported by the EC Fet Proactive project NANOPOWER and by the Coordination and Support Action ZEROPOWER, is open to graduate students, post-docs, young researchers, and in general to all scientists interested in the physical foundations and practical applications of energy harvesting at micro and nanoscale. As part of the school there is a two days workshop where the students and external participants can present the result of their research. The workshop covers a wider range of subjects under the title of “Energy management at micro and nanoscale” and is open to contributions.

Some of the topics covered at the school:
• Introduction to Energy Harvesting (EH)
• Linear and non-linear vibration Harvesting
• Thermoelectric efficiency
• Noise rectification
• Phonon engineering for EH
• MEMS/NEMS design and realization
• Micro/Nano devices for EH
• ICT applications of EH
• Future technological trends: Beyond CMOS technology and Energy Efficiency.
