Masters in Nanotechnology (in Europe)

AI Thread Summary
A recent discussion focused on pursuing a master's degree in nanotechnology, particularly for someone with an undergraduate background in electrical engineering and an interest in theoretical physics, especially quantum mechanics. The participant sought recommendations for universities in continental Europe that offer programs in English or French, with a preference for English. Notable suggestions included the University of Leuven in Belgium, which is associated with IMEC, a leading research group in nanotechnology. Other recommendations included Copenhagen University, which recently received funding for its nanotechnology center, and the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands, known for its master's program in Nanoscience. The conversation also briefly mentioned the potential of exploring programs outside Europe, such as the Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering program at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.

hi guys,

I just finished my undergrades in electrical engineering and I am planning to continue to the masters level. Though it wasn't a field of study, i got hooked to physics and i am planning to do my masters in nanotechnology where theoratical physics (specifically quantom mechanics) merges with practical EE.

I would appreciate it if one of you could suggest a list of good schools in Europe that would offer this type of program in English or French ( although my french isn't that great), but I would prefer it to be in the language of science (i.e. English).

By the way, when i talk of europe I only mean continental europe (i.e. Britian is excluded).

Why would you want to miss out on Oxbridge? Especially Cambridge which I think has a nanotechnology department...
 
Copenhagen university just got a big grant from the govenrment for their nanotechnology science scenter http://www.nano.ku.dk/education/start.htm must admit i don't know much about them except they are around the same buildings as me lol, but it may be of interest to you to check it out. Not sure if they teach in english or not o_O

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'What is computational physics and what is the best way or method to learn computational physics?'

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
