Summary

 

Biomaterials - MATE97007

Aims

This course is designed to give students the firm foundation in the fundamentals of Biomaterials required in subsequent years of study for those taking Advanced Biomaterials in year 4 and for those taking the MEng in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering and to serve as a self-standing unit. The missions of Biomaterials are to explain the types and properties of materials needed for various medical applications and how to synthesise and characterise them.

Role

Lecturer

Materials Chemistry and Biology - MSE 102

Aims

This course is designed to give students the firm foundation in the fundamentals of Materials Chemistry and Biology required in subsequent years of study and to serve as a valuable self-standing unit.  The missions of Materials Chemistry and Biology are to deliver a materials science view of fundamental chemistry concepts, as well as introduce a range of soft matter and polymeric materials.  The course content takes into account the broad spectrum of pre-university syllabi.

 

Role

Lecturer

Materials Characterisation - MATE96002

Aims

This course is designed to give students a firm foundation in the fundamentals of Materials Characterisation required in subsequent years of study, in particular in their long research project and internships.  The mission of Materials Characterisation is to explain the use of advanced techniques for the study of structure-property relationships in materials.  The course content takes into account the exposure of the students to characterisation methods in years 1 and 2.

 

Role

Lecturer

Nanomaterials 2 - MATE97018

Aims

This course is designed to provide the students with an insight into the emerging applications of nanotechnology through a series of topically relevant case studies. The underlying nanoscience as well as the engineering aspects of material and device operation is given.  The broader societal impacts of nanotechnology and its impact on human health are explored.
