About the Course

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 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 course is 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.

Watch the lectures and read the book. The book is very informative. The professor is very knowledgeable. Mots learning is done outside of course lectures. Establish group dynamics very early on. This class makes substantial use of peer-review and grading can often feel arbitrary.

The quizzes had a few irrelevant questions along with some questions from lectures of the upcoming weeks. The pacing of the course, along with the content delivery, was a bit fast and could be improved. The videos explaining various tools and techniques were really helpful.

The course contents were really informative and well delivered. Maybe in the future you could add more practical examples of nanosensors and the detailed description of how each sensor works. But as for introductory level the course was really good.

Tough the syllabus and the course material is highly up to date and informative respectively, but the professor isn't actually explaining anything or interacting at all. He does zero eye contact and is plainly reading out the slides.

the classes do contain a bunch of information into it, but i think there may be some more upgrading to do. For example the class teacher can speak louder and with more interest on teaching

The topic seems to be weel structured. Although the strong accent of the professor makes it very distracting and difficult to follow.
