Nanotechnology Research - Universities in Denmark

During the first three years, students receive basic interdisciplinary training in physics, chemistry, biology, molecular biology, mathematics, and computer science. Many of the courses are followed along with students from these core disciplines. In addition, a number of courses address issues specific to the nano-area.

In addition to the undergraduate programs, iNANO hosts a Doctorate school in nanoscience, iNANOschool. Here, students can be admitted with a Master's degree in a traditional (5+3) year model, but at this Faculty, studies are more often carried out following a (4+4) year model where the students are admitted after four years of study and the Master's project becomes an integrated part of the Doctorate which then lasts four years. A special (3+5) year honors program has recently been introduced where very talented students can be admitted to graduate school with a Bachelor's degree.

During their Master's degree students are required to specialize in one of three different disciplines: nanophysics, nanochemistry or nanomolecular biology.

The university's nanoscience bachelor (in Danish).

The Center for Quantum Devices research: How to create, control, measure, and protect quantum coherence and entanglement in solid-state electronic devices are the main themes of QDev.

Hatzakis Lab studies molecular mechanisms controlling cellular functions using single-particle and live-cell microscopy, super-resolution microscopy, nanocarriers and quantitative image analysis.

The JC Group studies fundamental and applied interactions between light and materials, including fluorescent molecular materials, semiconductor nanomaterials, time-resolved photonics and bottom-up nanofabrication.

The Jensen Group studies atomic structure, properties and synthesis of nanomaterials, using X-ray and neutron scattering to understand and design advanced materials for catalysis, solar cells and energy technologies.

The Laursen Group researches design and synthesis of fluorescent dyes and molecular materials, spectroscopy, self-assembly and applications in probes, sensors, imaging, nanoparticles and optical materials.

The Martinez Group investigates G protein-coupled receptors and GPCR signaling at the micro- and nanoscale using single-cell biophysics, fluorescence microscopy, surface-sensitive techniques and high-aspect-ratio nanostructures for biological applications.
