The presentations at this NASA-hosted Symposium in honor of Mino Freund will touch
upon the fields, to which his prolific mind has made significant contributions. These
include low temperature physics, cosmology, and nanotechnology with its wide-ranging
applicability to material science, neuroscience, Earth sciences and satellite technology.
To learn more about Mino's career you can download the "Tribute", which outlines his
journey from (i) low-temperature physics and superconductivity at the ETH Zürich to
(ii) building one remarkable milliKelvin refrigerator for the US-Japan IRTS mission
at UC Berkeley and ISAS in Japan to (iii) a decade in cosmology, to (iv) being on
the micro-bolometer team at NASA Goddard for the HAWC instrument on SOFIA, to (v)
developing at AFRL the nanotechnology portfolio for the entire Air Force. This was
followed by six years at the NASA Ames Research Center, where Mino formulated his
far-ahead ideas about swarms of capable nanosats circling the Earth, which have since
started to become a reality. He engaged in a broad range of nanotechnology projects,
including novel applications in neuroscience well before he himself was struck by
the deadly brain tumor
