Seminars in Nano Science & Technology
The course consists primarily of guest lectures given by Korean and international professors, carrying out cutting-edge research in nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science or basic natural sciences with relation to convergence science and/or nanoscience and nanotechnology. The speakers are invited from various research institutes and industries and they have been asked to present their state-of-the art research in a way that is accessible to graduate students with interest in convergence science.
Course literature: Each guest lecturer will provide a pdf file with her/his slides.
Spring semester 2012
The class starts on Wednesday March 7th 2012 at 3:30pm (building 220, Gwanak campus, room 204) and it will run with one double lecture a week, Wednesdays 3:30 - 6:15pm throughout the semester.
The presentation abstracts, speaker bio sketches, and PDFs of the slides shown during the lectures are/will be available for download from the course resources page.
