ALFRED, N.Y., Dec. 15, 2006 -- The state has allocated $5 million through the New York State Construction Fund for the Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering at Alfred University (AU), it was announced last week. The university said it will use the funds for facilities and equipment at the new school.

The state allocation augments a March 2005 $10 million gift from Kyocera Corp., a manufacturer of advanced ceramic materials, in honor of its founder, Kazuo Inamori. The university dedicated the engineering school in Inamori's honor in October 2005. With income from the Kyocera endowment, the university plans to hire as many as four professors for the new center, which is dedicated to research in nanotechnology for photonic and biomedical applications and the development of advanced materials.

The School of Engineering offers programs in biomedical materials engineering science, ceramic engineering, materials science engineering and glass science engineering that are administered by AU under a contract with the State University of New York (SUNY); those programs are part of the New York State College of Ceramics.

Glossary
nanotechnology
The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
