Courses

NE 232: Quantum Mechanics I

This course is designed for engineering students with no prior exposure to Quantum Mechanics.  At the conclusion of the course, I hope that students will gain a good understanding of the Schrödinger formalism.  Students will be expected to give quantum mechanical description of simple physical systems such as free particle, particle in a box, scattering from potential step/barrier, harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom etc. Applications of quantum mechanics to more complex and realistic systems will be demonstrated in the class.

CHEM 750 / NE 489: BioElectronics

This course covers many advanced topics in the principle, fabrication, and applications of bioelectronics, which is an interdisciplinary research field with elements of chemistry, biology, physics, and electronics. It is designed for students from both engineering and science at senior undergraduate and graduate level.  At the conclusion of the course, the students should have a general feel for what the field of bioelectronics encompasses, have a good grasp of the fundamental building blocks, and know some strategies for interfacing biomaterials with electronic elements/surfaces.

CHEM 750 / NE 479: Carbon Nanotube Electronics

This course covers various topics in theoretical and engineering aspects of carbon nanotube (CNT) electronics, including atomic and electronic structures of CNT, CNT synthesis and integration, device physics, circuit concepts of 1D electronics, and implementation of CNT devices. Specific state-of-the-art CNT devices and applications, such as ballistic field-effect transistor, chemical and biological sensors, and flexible thin film electronics, will be introduced.
