Proposal for a Nanotechnology Open Knowledge Research Effort

[AhsanAmin]

I would like to mention for friends that my research on solution of differential equations and solution of systems of differential equations have opened up many new possibilities in understanding of phenomenon underlying the physics of materials at nano-scale. And it should greatly help the scientists towards inventing new materials, semi-conductor devices, special medicine, green energy and countless other fields in advanced scientific disciplines that promise to change human life. I would specially want to mention that my research on systems of differential equations (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2872598) made it possible to solve the systems of differential equations related to many-body problems in quantum mechanics that dictates how elementary particles interact on nano-scale. Solution of many-body problem in quantum mechanics is crucial for design and invention of new nanotechnologies in fields related to solar energy, medicine, novel composite materials, semiconductor device design and manufacturing and advanced technological industries of future. Earlier simulation of physical properties of nano-devices made of few hundred atoms could require computation by supercomputers or large distributed computing systems but my method for solution of systems of differential equations has made it possible to drastically reduce the simulation time and computational effort and modest computer systems could solve those problems in far shorter time. Better solution methods should help in more precise and better understanding of properties of nano-devices and should revolutionize innovation, design and manufacturing of nano-devices, nano-materials and nano-medicine. I believe that greater research effort by smart and intelligent researchers across the world when aided by better mathematical methods to understand the properties of nano-materials, could help bring a nano-technology boom even greater than the IT boom or social media/internet boom of this or previous decades.
In order to be better positioned to take advantage of nanotechnologies of the future, I want to propose a plan for a loose body of researchers, academics, and students that would contribute to research ,collection of knowledge, and development of cutting edge software simulating the properties of novel materials on atomic scale in order to advance and facilitate rapid innovation in nanotechnology area.
This body would be equally open to people interested in nanotechnology research from across the world but I would like to invite interested scientists, academics and students in all Pakistani universities to join the research effort and benefit from research and knowledge in this fast emerging disciplines. Pakistani academics and researchers among others could benefit from an understanding of software with implementation of mathematical algorithms describing the design and calculation of physical properties of nano-materials/chemicals/devices/medicine so as to further the research on their own for some practical application in industrial or consulting setting. Intelligent Students from universities across the world and from Pakistani universities would be guided towards interesting research projects so that they could directly employ the knowledge and research skills gained in the university in an industrial or entrepreneurial setting after graduating from the university. This would be a great opportunity for intelligent people to get skilled in an area that could define the next great boom in a few years.
I suppose that their would be a very small fee 100-200 dollars per year but those who would not want to pay due to any reason would be equally welcome. I would post more detailed plan and information on about this research effort on this thread. I would request interested friends to contact me at my email ahsanamin2999(at)gmail.

Some research I have done is extremely relevant to quantum mechanics and related fields. I would like friends to recall that research paper I did on ODES was based on the work that was first applied to SDEs. As I worked in mathematical finance, it was attempt at solution of SDEs that resulted in those ideas. Systems of SDEs should be just as easy to solve as the systems of ODEs. I also did research work on solution of Fokker-planck in my thread on technical forum on wilmott.com and I am sure that should be very relevant to solution of Schordinger equation because of similarity between both equations. Though in my earlier post I just mentioned ODEs and systems of ODEs, stochastics have an equally strong applications of the original work I did and hence the relevance to quantum mechanics. I see very exciting new research in these areas from others based on these tools I proposed in my research and I would like to do that on my own as well.

As I did last year, I want to again make a suggestion for a mathematical technologies company to interested friends only from those countries who tried to protect me and made protests to my and other governments against my inhuman treatment. The idea is simply to start a mathematical technologies company with other intelligent friends from those countries and I do not have any ownership/leadership conditions as I frankly think there could be many more qualified people from those countries who could very successfully lead and manage the company and might be interested in joining the company as founding partners. I would also like to be a founding partner and would want to concentrate on mathematical research and its applications and related brainstorming. But I am very sure, the company will need experienced partners who have worked in industry in a similar setting and also many other people/partners who have strong math skills possibly from academia. From my side, there is no restriction on intelligent friends being founding partners (can be 3, 5, 6 just to cite numbers) as I believe more intelligent people joining the company would be great for its future and success. I have tried to describe my initial ideas but of course we can change these ideas for something better after initial discussions and have a more intelligent design of the company.
I think this is a very interesting time in the discipline of mathematics and its applications and many fields which are nascent now will see huge growth in a few years. And possibly many new fields and novel applications of mathematics will also appear. So this is probably the right time to form a company that can do great research towards developing new mathematical technologies and possible new areas and applications are only limited by our imagination.
Here is a link to my very basic presentation for a mathematical technologies company that I quickly prepared a year ago when mathematical tools available to us were more limited. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1UoJb9Zaj22VHNGb3daLUJhdTQ
At that time I was not thinking about a company possibly based in more than one country so I wrote about indigeneous Pakistani company.
For more private discussion and brainstorming, you could email me at anan2999(at)yahoo and ahsanamin2999(at)gmail. If I fail to respond, please mention on this thread. I would also invite friends to connect with me on linkedin. My linkedin profile address is: linkedin.com/in/ahsan-amin-0a53334

In a few days, I hope to approach intelligent friends from some countries for discussions about the formation of new mathematical technologies company and ask for possible suggestions and advice even if some of them are not willing to directly join the new company. I have many ideas what the new company would be doing though I am sure these ideas would change as the proposed company grows and there are more suggestions.
One project could be research on design and fabrication of better materials with the help of nano-technology in order to produce more efficient solar cells. I am sure there are many other scientists working on similar projects but I think it is really worthwhile to do research in this area and there could be great rewards for hard work in this line of research.
Another project that I want to consider if I could find other intelligent friends willing to take up the ideas and implement them is design of better algorithms for search engine technologies. I believe there is both need and space for new great search engines and I really think that current search engine technologies can be greatly enhanced using better algorithms though the project would require a lot of hard work and many original and genuine ideas to succeed and compete with the giants.
I can have a long list of other potential projects but I would want to add just one special project. We all know that global warming is an inevitable phenomenon and we would want to get prepared now and brace ourselves for changes in weather that would start to show up in 5-10 years. The cost of being unprepared when global warming would cause very large changes in weather pattern in a few years or possibly a decade would be catastrophic. We know that large cities have become concrete jungles and, in hotter areas of the world especially in the subcontinent, the cities trap enormous heat during sunny days in summers and even the nights, close to the morning, in the open on the city streets are very hot. Using nanotechnologies, we could design special paints that would possibly reflect most of the heat during the day sharply decreasing the supply of heat available to be trapped in concrete. There could also be special materials which can be prepared cheaply on a large scale that when added to construction material would drastically reduce the capacity of buildings to store heat and let them cool very easily.
On another note related to global warming and accompanying change in weather patterns, I believe there is a great need for crops, fruit and vegetable that could survive at higher temperature and could possibly sustain themselves with a decreased amount of agriculture water. Water could become far scarce in the subcontinent and China if glaciers melt on Himalayas and Karakoram and smaller rivers might only become very seasonal when there would be rains on the mountains and other catchment area of the rivers. Though there could be some other water when soft snow from the previous winters would melt at the arrival of Summer. There is also need for possible water management in the mountain areas before the rivers enter the plains using dams and lakes in the mountain ranges so as to store and control the flow of water and let it flow according to water needs in the agricultural areas. In fact, I would suggest that government of Pakistan (and our Chinese and Indian friends) strongly consider this option in the design of new planned mega dams (newly announced large hydro-power projects) on Indus and Jhelum. Once the dams would have been constructed, it would be too late to make changes that are required for water storage and related 'around the year water flow management'. Though cheap hydropower is very important, I believe it is even more important to be able to store and manage water through comprehensive integrated water management on the mountains otherwise our agriculture would greatly suffer. There is a great need to understand how weather could change with global warming and become prepared to reduce the impact of changing weather on people especially in these extremely heavily populated parts of the world where any such change can cause havoc on lives of those parts of population who already do not have sufficient income to survive.

Though it is not directly relevant to topic of this thread, I would attempt to briefly expand on the considerations for comprehensive integrated around the year water flow management on the mountains for the river water since I have already touched on this subject earlier in this thread.
We need to be able to identify the locations and later develop water lakes and reservoirs around the river flow on the mountains. We need to consider the average, maximum and minimum rainfall or snow in the catchment areas and predict water flow associated with the various levels of rainfall and also from melting snow in calm weather on the mountains in the catchment areas during various times of the year(along the year). This will also include consideration of temperature at that time of the year. We need to develop optimum sized reservoirs based on maximum possible size of reservoir given the natural geography of the area(We will limit the maximum size to optimum considering maximum and average water flow in that area) also considering the water flow associated with various levels of rainfall/snowfall that we calculated earlier. We would also have to consider the impact of construction and from newly constructed lakes and reservoirs on wild life and its habitat and find out how to limit any negative effect on already endangered life including the effect on botanical life. After we have constructed a network of lakes and reservoirs, We will have to work out a completely optimized plan that would control how much water to store in reservoirs and lakes and how much to let flow out of them. This plan will consider snow already on mountains, forecast of temperature later during the year and accompanying forecast of water sourced from melting snow, the forecasts of rain and snow in different areas along the mountains and their individual and joint effect (meaning water management would be different if there is rain in some isolated catchment area on the mountains and if it rains in many catchment areas together), the longer term weather forecasts, the water needs for agriculture downstream at that particular time of the year and water needs later during the year, the need to be able to control floods(as they are predicted to increase dramatically with global warming) and weaken the floods by storing water in an integrated optimized fashion again based on rain forecasts on the mountains and on the plains and also considering the storage capacity along the rivers. There would also be considerations for optimum and minimum river water flow in the Indus delta where the river water falls into the Arabian sea and optimized amount of water would remain in delta according to water in the reservoirs, water needs in the plains midstream and water need in the delta region to prevent the sea water from entering in the river delta.
