About the course

The Ph.D. in Nanoscience is a minimum of 49-credit degree program that has two concentrations—one in Materials Science and Nanomaterials, and the other in Synthetic Biology. Students earning a Ph.D. in Nanoscience will be expected to design, organize and manage multifaceted research programs or projects in the areas of nanotechnology and nanoscience, effectively communicate, both orally and through the written word, when proposing new research projects, reporting their research discoveries, or when critiquing or evaluating the proposals or discoveries of others, practice safe laboratory protocols and policies, and analyze and synthesize complex ideas associated with nanoscience and nanotechnology, and employ these processes for the advancement of nanoscience research. At the heart of materials science is an understanding of the microstructure of solids and low dimensional nanomaterials, including biological tissues. Microstructure refers to solids viewed at the subatomic (electronic) and atomic levels, and the nature of the defects at these levels. Microstructure is a fundamental feature of description of biological tissues at the cellular level. The phenomenological and mechanistic relationships between the microstructure and the macroscopic properties of solids, low dimensional nanomaterials and biological tissues are the essence of the described concentration. This is best represented by the “materials science triangle”: synthesis–microstructure–properties. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
