Announcements

6/1 Please submit all short reports to the E-Submit Area by Tuesday night. Reports on presentations made on 6/1 may be submitted until noon on Thursday.
6/1 Please fill out a final WebQ after you finish up to give us feedback on the class (here)
4/17 Password protection has been added to some of the files for class presentations. The login and password has been emailed to registered students. If you have trouble accessing the site, please contact Prof. Olmstead.
4/17 Groups for student presentations have been assigned and an email sent out last Thursday. Please try to arrange a meeting of your group this month to allow people to research their own part of the presentation.
3/30 An E-submit site has been created. Everyone registered for the class on 3/29 is included. If you add the class at a later date, please email Prof. Olmstead (olmstd@u) to make sure you get added to the list.
3/28 Materials related to each class, including pre-class reading assignments, post-class WebQ's, and pdf copies of the presentations, are all linked directly to the Class Schedule page.
3/28 Remember to fill out the WebQ for each class.
3/21 You may register for either Chemistry 560B (SLN 9326) or Physics 576B (SLN 9580).
3/20 Course requirements and a first draft of a class schedule are now posted.
3/16 Welcome to Frontiers in Nanotechnology, the core course for the Nanotechnology Dual Ph.D. Program. The course is aimed at current or potential Dual Degree students from the 10 participating departments in the NT Dual Degree program (Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, Microbiology, Physiology and Biophysics, Genome Sciences and Biochemistry).
3/16 Please register for Chemistry 560B (SLN 9326). The course will hopefully also be co-listed in physics and/or chemical engineering, but this may not occur until after the quarter has begun.

Course Overview

This class is the core required course for UW's Nanotechnology Dual Degree Ph.D. Program. The course is designed to give an overview of nanotechnology, with emphasis on activities at the University of Washington. Roughly half the class periods will be presentations by UW faculty in the Center for Nanotechnology discussing research on campus. One quarter will address background core material common to many aspects of nanoscale science and technology. The remaining quarter will be spent addressing connections between nanotechnology research and society (tech transfer, ethics, products, etc.).

The course is open to all graduate students and advanced undergraduates. It is aimed at graduate students starting their research in UW's nanotechnology Ph.D. program.
