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.
