課程名稱 Laser Bio/Nano Science (中文 : 雷射生物奈米科學)

Lecturer : Prof. Hiroshi Masuhara (增原宏)

Abstract (課程概述與目標) : Starting from fundamental photopysics and photochemistry, recent developements of spectroscopic and imaging methods utilizing lasers and optical microscopes are introduced and their high potential is demonstrated. Various subjects on nano materials such as nano plymer films, molecular nanocrystals, metallic nanoparticles, and so on are presented and discussed. Nanoparticle preparation and molecular crystallization by laser are now intensively extended and their applications are expected, while manipulation and patterning of living cells by femtosecond laser tsunami have received much attention in the relevant life science field. Integrating the detailed explanation and recent results, one possible picture of Laser Bio/Nano Science will be given.

Grading policy (教學要點概述) : Discussion in the classromm, 40%; Midterm exam, 30 %; Final exam, 30 %

Note (先修科目或先備能力)) : Knowledgements of physical chemistry, organic chemistry, quantum mechanics and/or polymer chemistry are required to follow this class. Of course, listening and speaking English are also important, however, the lecturer will explain in plain English. This class should be heplful for you not only to establish your scientific insight but also to improve your English.

This class is open for B.C. students and pos-docs to take a look. The lecture by one of the foremost scienticts can give suggestions on your scientific perspectives and your career options.
