Nanotechnology and nanosensors are broad, interdisciplinary areas spanning (bio)chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, electrical engineering, and more.
This course will provide a survey of some of the fundamental principles behind nanotechnology and nanomaterials and their vital role in new sensing properties and applications.
The course will discuss exciting interdisciplinary scientific and engineering insights at the nanoscale to understand the fundamental physical differences in nanosensors.
By the end of the course, students will understand the fabrication, characterization, and manipulation of nanomaterials, nanosensors, and how they can be exploited for new applications.
Additionally, students will apply their knowledge of nanotechnology and nanosensors to a topic of personal interest in this course.
---------------- COURSE OBJECTIVES The main objective of the course is to promote critical, creative and innovative thinking.
The course encourages work in multicultural groups, building international 'think tanks' for the creation of new ideas.
Throughout the course you will be asked to reflect on your learning, think "outside the box" and come up with creative ideas.
The course is designed to foster an understanding of: 1.
The importance of nanoscale materials for sensing applications.
2.
Approaches used to characterize sensor-based nanomaterials.
3.
Approaches used to tailor nanomaterials for a specific sensing application.
4.
Metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles.
5.
Organic and inorganic nanotubes and nanowires.
6.
Optical, mechanical and chemical sensors based on nanomaterials.
7.
Hybrid sensors based on nanomaterials.
