Use nanotechnology for Safety by Design Current trends in nanotechnology, ICT, privacy and security. Interview with Prof. Dr. Ashok Vaseashta, NUARI, USA

Ashok Vaseashta is Director of the Institutes of Advanced Sciences Convergence and International Clean Water and has several other scientific and policy-advising assignments. His research interests include chemical and biological sensors, counter-terrorism, water safety & security, environmental pollution monitoring & remediation and green nanotechnology. He proposes to use TechFARM (Technology Foresight, Assessment and Roadmapping) for mapping trends in converging technologies (Nano, Bio, Info, Cogno). Ultimately, his aim is to let nanotechnology contribute to safety by design of new products and technological systems.
