Nanosystems Engineering
The specialization in nanosystems engineering focuses on the “top-down” design and fabrication of nano- and microsystems for research and industrial applications. Students following the specialization are trained in state-of the-art nano- and micro fabrication technologies in a combination of theory, simulation, and device fabrication in the Nanolab clean room facility at DTU, and device characterization in our modern laboratory facilities. Topics include sensors, actuators, sensor-systems and -networks, engineering of surface wetting properties, nano-bio handling and detection, nanofluidics, nanophotonics, nano-electronics, nanomanipulation, and nano/microfabrication.

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
