Undergraduate Prerequisites: Junior or Senior standing (or permission of instructor) - Nanotechnology encompasses the understanding and manipulation of matter with at least one characteristic dimension measured in nanometers with novel, size-dependent physical properties as a result. This course explores the electronic, mechanical, optical, and biomedical properties of materials at the nanoscale and their applications for use as electronics, biomedicines, and devices. In this course, students will: 1) learn emergent properties that stem from the properties of nanomaterials and computational quantifications of these properties, 2) gain a scope of the various types of nanomaterials in practice for diverse applications spanning electronics to nanomedicine, and 3) understand the key interactions between nanotechnology and biology in the context of building safer devices, therapeutics and drugs, and biological sensors.
