Interested in nano research combining physics, chemistry, engineering and materials science? The following talk may be of interest:

Nanoscience is the science of the very small. But why is that interesting? Alexandra Grigore and Tarun Vemulkar, both PhD students at ‘the other place’, will talk about their experience working in this multidisciplinary field and what the future could hold for someone working in the area. Things that they will talk about will include DNA origami and nanopores for faster genetic sequencing, nanomagnetic devices, photonic structures in butterfly wings, latest solar cell technologies, 3D metamaterials and more. If you are considering a PhD, this is also a chance to ask them questions about their interdisciplinary 4 year MRes + PhD programme at the Nano Doctoral Training Centre (NanoDTC) in Cambridge, in addition to your other questions about nanotechnology.
