\nAbstract: Perha
 ps some of the most important and urgent Grand Challenges facing the inhab
 itants of this earth which need our immediate attention are: 1) Energy\, 2
 ) Water\, and 3) Food Resources. Although the intention was not to place 
 “energy” as the top challenge\, in many respects the latter two cannot
  be addressed successfully on a wider and more accessible scale without lo
 w cost and low power consumption approaches to their production. One of ou
 r research themes focuses on developing and implementing environmentally f
 riendly processing and device testing approaches. The target is to realize
  sustainable development and manufacturing of multi-scale functional mater
 ials\, devices and systems\, for applications in areas including\, but not
  limited to\, power generation\, solid-state-lighting\, energy conversion 
 and storage\, and light weight alloys. Throughout the research\, efforts a
 re made to eliminate as many energy-demanding processing steps as possible
 \, without sacrificing device performance or materials specifications. In 
 this venue\, I will review our advances on two of our research topics aimi
 ng at preparing the foundational work for their low-cost R2R manufacturing
 : 1) Reactive Printing Fabrication of self-assembled nanoparticles and qua
 ntum dots\, and 2) Melt spinning approach to flexible silicon substrates.

\nBio: Dr. Ghassan E. Jabbour is the Canada Research Chair Tier 1 in 
 Advanced Materials and Devices and professor of Electrical Engineering at 
 uOttawa. Prof. Jabbour spent the last 14 years building research and devel
 opment centers of excellence from the ground up. He was the Founding Direc
 tor of the Solar and Photovolatic Engineering Center\, Named Professor of 
 Materials Engineering and Professor of Electrical Engineering at KAUST. Dr
 . Jabbour was one of the founding PIs for the Flexible Display Center (FDC
 ) at Arizona State University (ASU)\, the Director of Flexible and Organic
  Electronics Development at FDC\, Director of Advanced Photovoltaics Cente
 r (ASU)\, and a Professor of the School of Materials (ASU). Prof. Jabbour 
 has many distinguished honors and awards including: 1) SPIE Fellow (younge
 st fellow the year of the award)\, 2) Fellow of European Optical Society\,
  3) Distinguished Professor of Finland-Academy of Finland\, 4) Al-Rawabi E
 ndowed Research Chair Professor (only one at KAUST at the time)\, 5) Numer
 ous keynote\, plenary\, seminars\, and invited talks (more than 580) at na
 tional and international scientific conferences\, universities and compani
 es\, roadmap meetings and workshops\, 6) Invited to attend the dinner for 
 the Millennium Award Ceremony (2010 and 2012) in Helsinki\, Finland\, 7) A
 n MRS Symposium X speaker\, 8) and Best Poster (2 posters) Award at the US
 A National Academy of Engineering 2006/the Japan-America Frontiers of Engi
 neering Symposium. Moreover\, Prof. Jabbour was the only academic invited 
 to speak at the United States of America’s 2006 Senate Science and Techn
 ology Caucus on Advancing Energy Efficiency. Professor Jabbour has been th
 e Chair/Co-Chair/Committee Member/Session Chair of more than 230 leading c
 onferences. In the last 16 years\, Prof. Jabbour raised more than $540 mil
 lion in competitive research funding as PI\, Co-PI\, and collaborator. His
  research and development advances have been highlighted in numerous inter
 national journals\, magazines and newspapers\, including Chemical and Engi
 neering News\, Angewandte Chemie\, Nature\, Nature Photonics\, Science\, S
 cientific Reports (Nature)\, IEEE\, Advanced Materials\, MIT Technology Re
 view\, MRS Bulletin\, USA Today\, PC Magazine\, LA Times\, Boston Globe\, 
 Wired\, Financial Times London\, NSF website on 'Technological Challenges 
 for Flexible\, Light-weight\, Low-cost Scalable Electronics and Photonics'
 \, and NSF 2005 Year of Physics\, to mention a few. Prof. Jabbour is on th
 e Editorial Board of the Light: Science & Applications (Nature Publishing 
 Group)\, Associate Editor of 3D Printing in Medicine (Nature-Springer) and
  an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Display Technology.
