About Nanoscale Science and Technology, MPhil - at Newcastle University

Overview

At Newcastle University you'll get the chance to:

• thrive on interdisciplinary challenges
• collaborate with industrial partners
• create your own spin-off company to commercialise the results of your research.

MPhil and PhD supervision is available in:

• micro and nanoscale design, fabrication, manufacturing and manipulation
• top-down and bottom-up fabrication
• nanoscale materials and electronics
• applications of nano and microelectronics in medical science (cell biology, neuroscience, human genetics and ageing)
• polymers
• self-assembly
• chemistry of nanoscale systems
• biomolecular engineering - microfluids, bioprobes and biosensor systems, MEMS/NEMS-based sensors and device.

Many research projects cross the disciplinary boundaries of:

• medicine
• engineering
• the physical sciences.

Depending on the source of funding, your project may involve collaboration with:

• an industry partner
• working in a team with other students.

You might develop an idea to the point where, following your degree, you can create a spin-off company. This would have potential to commercialise the results of your research.

Facilities

nanoLAB, one of the University’s research centres, brings together our cross-disciplinary research in:

• biomedical science
• nanoelectronics
• nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS)
• chemistry
• materials.

Our facilities include some of the best-equipped micro/nano device fabrication facilities in the UK. This includes:

• clean rooms for fabrication of bio-nano devices, electrical and material characterisation
• specialist equipment that can operate with nanometre scale resolution
• the national X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) service, NEXUS.
