Biomedical Nanotechnology

4.0 credits

Description This course will educate students how engineering at the nanoscale is different from macro-level, how/why it offers novel properties which can be harnessed and applied to multiple research fields. Course content will include topics such as, nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires- their synthesis, applications, and properties; nanofabrication: both top-down and bottom-up approaches, nano-electronics, nanophotonics, and nano-pumps. Additionally, the workings of many spectroscopic and microscopic techniques specifically developed to analyze and manipulate nanomaterials will be discussed in detail.
