Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is all around us—powering CPUs, graphic cards, gaming sensors, LEDs, solar cells, quantum computing, medicine, and even space telescopes. This program will let you dive into this fascinating field through hands-on experiences in the cutting-edge cleanroom at the Singh Center for Nanotechnology.

Students will create their own micropatterns and microfluidic devices using advanced tools like photolithography, etching, and deposition. Students will synthesize CdSe quantum dots and analyze them with electron microscopy. Students will also characterize various devices made by nanotechnology, such as solar cells and gyroscope sensors, using Arduino.

Assignments are designed to foster creativity, innovation, quantitative analysis, and independent thinking. While prior coursework in Chemistry and Physics is preferred, it is not required.
