The Advanced Master in Nanotechnology offers holders of a basic second cycle degree complementary and/or advanced second cycle training in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It is intended for, on the one hand, those who do not have any training in this field and who wish to specialise in it, or on the other hand, for those who have already taken an option in this field during their Master’s and who wish to further their training with a specialisation in another area of nanotechnology, e.g. an electrical engineer wanting to further his/her training in nano-biotechnology.
The Advanced Master in Nanotechnology is a program of 60 credits organised around five main areas of specialisation:
- nanophysics: quantum phenomena, molecular transportation, spintronics, simulation, physical characterisations ...
- nanochemistry: synthesis of nanoparticles, chemical and physico-chemical characterisation, quantum chemistry
- nanoelectronics: micro and nanoelectronics, MEMS, NEMS, electronic characterisation ...
- nanomaterials : nanocomposites, nanofils, nanotubes, nanomedicine, biocaptors ...
This program is also intended to train students in the multidisciplinary aspect of nanotechnology. To this end it puts the accent on the different approaches used in these fields : knowledge of basic phenomena at the nano level, nanomanufacturing or the synthesis of nanostructures, the characterisation of nanostructures and the modelling and numeric simulation at the nano level
It also aims to make stuents aware of the impact on society of nanotechnology by way of interdisciplinary seminars on the following themes : ethics, enonomic perspectives, applications of nanotechnology, toxicity of nanomaterials ...
On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1.2. synthèse de nanomatériaux ou fabrication de nanostructures fonctionnelles en laboratoire,
1.3. caractérisation des nanostructures pour en connaître la structure et/ou des propriétés fonctionnelles,
1.4. modélisation ou simulation numériquement à l’échelle nanoscopique, en utilisant des outils non-conventionnels, pour prédire des propriétés de l’objet, du matériau ;
4.2. se documenter et résumer l’état des connaissances actuelles dans le domaine de recherche en nanotechnologie,
4.3. mettre en forme un rapport de synthèse visant à expliciter les nouvelles propriétés de l’objet, du matériau, son domaine d'application,
4.4. communiquer oralement et par écrit (sous forme d’article scientifique) les résultats de sa recherche à une équipe d’experts dans le domaine des nanotechnologies.
