Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

The Master of Nanotechnology is a comprehensive two year course featuring both in-depth lecture units, seminars by leading speakers and a wide range of practical learning opportunities. Graduates are equipped with the broad range of the skills required to flourish in the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology. The course has a strong research focus, with high achieving students, those in the Honours stream, working in state-of-the-art research laboratories equipped with world class fabrication and characterization resources.

At the CNBP the team use the power of light to measure, seeking to understand the complex molecular processes that underpin the living body, as well as other dynamic biological systems. Their approaches and technologies encompass Discovery - of chemical, nanomaterial and fibre based light responsive tools - that Sense and that can also Image. Bringing these three core capability areas together, the Center scientists are driving the development of innovative new molecular sensing tools that have broad application across the biosciences, medical, agriculture, food and manufacturing sectors.

The Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication is the Victorian Node and headquarters of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF). Opened in July 2010, this multi-user research facility is operating the largest purpose-built cleanroom complex in the Southern Hemisphere. Drawing upon the wealth of knowledge within six Universities and CSIRO, they are uniquely placed in a thriving cosmopolitan world-centre enabling us to bridge the gaps between scientific disciplines and commercial needs.

The Monash Centre for Atomically Thin Materials (MCATM) fosters collaboration among existing researchers at the university, bringing them together with those with expertise in atomically thin materials, as well as encouraging partnerships with international partners and industry. It also provides a highly multidisciplinary environment to train early career researchers and students.

The ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio-Nano Science and Technology is a national innovator in bio-nano sciences and an incubator of the expertise and technological excellence required to develop next generation bio-responsive nanomaterials.

An underlying guiding principle in most of the group's work is the relevance of transport processes primarily mass and momentum. They seek deeper understanding of fluid and mass transport in confined spaces, and the relationship between transport phenomena and materials processing.

Research includes Micro/Nano precision manipulation.

Monash University is recognized as one of the leading centres of nanoscience in Australia, with world-class capabilities in nanoscale materials science and engineering and nanobiotechnology.

Main areas of research are nano-Engineering; nano-Environment; nano-Industrial; bio-nanotechology.

Murdoch University offers the undergraduate degree Bachelor of Science in Nanoscience which may be completed in three years of full-time study or over a longer period on a part-time basis. A fourth year of study and research is available if you are selected for an Honours degree.
