Course Information

The rapid growing of nanoscience and nanotechnology is one of the major driving forces for next generation technologies. The aim of this clustered short course is to create a sustainable platform to introduce the theory and practice of nanoscience/technology to persons who are interested to have a jump start in this interdisciplinary area or an update on recent progress. Targeted persons may include postdocs, graduates, undergraduates, high school teachers, industrial scientists, early career professors, law-makers, and investors, from UCF, Florida, or Nation wide.

Through an integrated series of lectures, it will provide a working knowledge of the principles in the nanoscience and nanotechnology. The short courses will include the fundamental knowledge and current state-of-the-art in the area.
