Course

Advances in Micro/Nano Biochemical Sensors (微纳生化传感器前沿进展)


 

Course Objectives

  •  In-depth analysis of the operating principle of modern biosensors;
  • Physical chemistry at the sensor interface;
  • How Micro/nano technology to improve the performance of the biosensors (sensitivity, selectivity etc.);
  • Micro/nano sensor fabrications and fluid integrations;
  • Current limitations and challenges.

Students of this course will not only learn how to fabricate a biosensor, but will be able to decide what sensor to make, appreciate their design principles, interpret measured results, and spot emerging research trends.

Who Should Take the Course?

Engineers, chemists, physicists, biologist, and biomedical student who have an interest in the emerging field of micro/nano biochemical sensors.

Prerequisites

Graduate students in precise instrument, electrical engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology.
Basic English communication skills are required.
