Nanometrology and Big Data

This course is intended for beginning graduate students. The course will discuss strategies to explore grand challenge nanotechnology problems in the areas of electronics, displays and energy. These challenges often require a disciplined innovation framework that involves correctly defining the specifications of the challenge, understanding the technology gaps, and having the relevant interdisciplinary expertise to develop the systems needed to bridge the technology gap. This course will first present an innovation framework, then expose students to multi‐scale computational tools that can be used to explore the solution space, and finally apply these techniques to case studies in the area of nanoelectronics.
