| Summary | Students will apply the knowledge gained from the taught courses in S1 and S2, to an individual project on an intellectually demanding R&D topic under the guidance of a supervisor. It consists of two main elements and students will perform the research project independently with the minimal of practical supervision necessary to meet their projects' broad aim and objectives. |
| Course description |
The syllabus will cover 5 or more applications of ISM (each partially by taught delivery, and partially by assignment assignment) each year. By way of example, it is proposed that the applications to be covered in the 1st year of delivery include - liquid crystal, micro-electro-chemical, drugs of abuse, single photon and nano-chemical. Sample Lecture Syllabus for Academic Year 2015/16
Wk 1,2 Sensing with liquid crystals
Wks 3,4 Electrochemical sensing with microelectrodes
Wks 5,6 Detecting drugs of abuse
Wks 7,8 Detecting single photons
Wks 9,10 Nano-checmical sensing
