Fall 2008
Physics 698, Special Topics: Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
Nanoscale materials have attracted great interest in recent years. In fall 2008 semester we offer a three credit interdisciplinary course that will present a broad view of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It will include fundamentals of nanoscale materials as well as recent advances in their possible technological applications. Graduate students from different departments are encouraged to take this course.
Lectures: T,Th, 1:45-3:00 PM
Instructor: Dr. Alper Buldum
Office: Ayer 230, Phone: 972-8087

Fall 2008
Special Topics: Biological Physics
3650:488:001 and 3650:698:001
Biological physics is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of research. In recent years,exciting new approaches have appeared to address the old question “what is the difference between live and dead matter?” Local conversion of energy is a hallmark of many “active processes” in cells and larger biological systems. In this course, we will
investigate how structural properties and transport processes of “active” matter differ from those of “passive” materials. In class sessions and homework, we will work on the
necessary background and investigate a few model systems and problems in detail. In a journal club and term projects, we will consider a broader range of topics. The goal of this course is to lay the foundation for you to pursue your own interests in this field.
Class time: The class is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday/Thursday 3:15-4:30 pm, CBA 143
Instructor: Jutta Luettmer-Strathmann
