About the Course

Learn about novel sensing tools that make use of nanotechnology to screen, detect and monitor various events in personal or professional life. Together, we will lay the groundwork for infinite innovative applications, starting from diagnosis and treatments of diseases, continuing with quality control of goods and environmental aspects, and ending with monitoring security issues. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Nanotechnology and nanosensors are broad, interdisciplinary areas that encompass (bio)chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, electrical engineering and more. The present course will provide a survey on some of the fundamental principles behind nanotechnology and nanomaterials and their vital role in novel sensing properties and applications. The course will discuss interesting interdisciplinary scientific and engineering knowledge at the nanoscale to understand fundamental physical differences at the nanosensors. By the end of the two parts of the course, students will understand the fabrication, characterization, and manipulation of nanomaterials, nanosensors, and how they can be exploited for new applications. Also, students will apply their knowledge of nanotechnology and nanosensors to a topic of personal interest in this course. - - - - - - - -- -- -- - - - - COURSE OBJECTIVES The course main objective is to enhance critical, creative, and innovative thinking. The course encourages multicultural group work, constructing international 'thinking tanks' for the creation of new ideas. Throughout the course, you will be asked to reflect upon your learning, think "out of the box", and suggest creative ideas. The two parts of the course are set to encourage the understanding of: 1. The importance of nanoscale materials for sensing applications. 2. Approaches used for characterizing sensors based nanomaterials. 3. Approaches used for tailoring nanomaterials for a specific sensing application. 4. Metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles. 5. Organic and inorganic nanotubes and nanowires. 6. Optical, mechanical and chemical sensors based on nanomaterials. 7. Hybrid nanomaterial-based sensors. ---------------- We recommend that you read the following supplementary reading materials: -Jiří Janata, Principles of Chemical Sensors, Springer, 2d Edition (1989). -Roger George Jackson, Novel Sensors and Sensing, CRC Press (2004). _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Teaching Team About Professor Haick Hossam Professor Hossam Haick is an expert in the field of nanotechnology, nanosensors, and non-invasive disease diagnosis.

The only issue I faced was that the professor is very fast in explaining the concepts. There must be some white board and markers so that the students can effectively learn the course. Only teaching through PPT's is not sufficient probably.

This course was a great balance between enjoyable and challenging task. I didn’t expect it to be so cool and exciting to learn things about Nanosensors. It was a splendid challenge and I enjoyed being pushed to grow. My tutor encouraged me to do my best and got to know me through the project and review which I did during this course.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the field. Course instructor, Prof. Hossaim Haick, has excellently explained current trends and future prospects. Together with part 1 of the course, I will recommend it to all students working in nanotechnology.

Thanks and best regards,

Very well organized and exposed. If it is possible I would add some real experiments, as the one of the gold nanoparticle synthesis in Part 1, to give an idea of synthesis and fabrication.

The content of the course is brilliant and touches upon various nanomaterials, synthesis/fabrication processes and sensing applications.

But the presentation style is poor. The slides are more like handouts and the speaking style is like a speech read out of a pre-written text. There is no use of the pointer or careful delivery which matches with each plot shown in the slide. I found it difficult to follow and connect speech to slide contents. All these results in boring and an arduous task to finish lectures with poor retention.

The references are missing serial and page numbers which makes it difficult to find them online.

I was a great course to learn about this new twchnology and gave me an idea on what is capable with the technology. From someone who had no background in the field it did take more time to understand the concepts but, it was worth it for the expansion of what this field can offer.
