Nanoscience sits at the intersection of mathematics and the core fundamental sciences: physics, biology, and chemistry, as well as their derivatives.
Students earning a Ph.D. in Nanoscience will be expected to design, organize and manage multifaceted research programs or projects in the areas of nanotechnology.
master in science nanoengineering
The Master of Science in Nanoengineering degree program is a research Master’s degree featuring coursework involving engineering at the nanoscale.
This program is designed for students with a strong academic track record who seek advanced-level education and training to pursue careers in academia, or industries.
Graduate CERTIFICATE programs
JSNN has four research focus areas—Synthetic biology, nanomaterials (with special emphasis on nanocomposite materials, molecular structure and devices), computational nanotechnology, and Environmental science and sustainability. These technical areas will afford numerous opportunities for collaboration with industrial partners.
Advanced materials are engineered materials with designated properties created by specialized process and synthesis technology and involves nanomaterials.
This certificate program trains and educates students in concepts related to the design of advanced materials, understanding their physical, mechanical, chemical, and structural properties.
