Computer-aided nano-engineering is to apply modeling and simulation methods in design of material systems at nano and meso scales, where research streams in mathematics, engineering, materials, chemistry, physics, and computer science merge. Some interesting issues to study include (but not limited to):

• Mathematical and computational advancement with applications in nanoscience and nanoengineering
• Modeling of geometric structure and physical properties (e.g. electrical, magnetic, mechanical, optical) of organic and inorganic materials
• New approaches to understand phenomena and predict behavior of atomic, molecular, and macromolecular structures
• Multi-scale multi-physics simulation methods (e.g. ab initio, density functional theory, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, finite element) and discrete-to-continuum integration (e.g. quasi-continuum, concurrent coupling, multiresolution, multigrid)
• Simulation of fabrication and self-assembly processes in manufacturing and synthesis
• Computer based enabling technologies (e.g. visualization, optimization, imaging, prototyping) for engineering of nano structure and morphology
• Novel materials and devices by design and their applications
