For me, NanoJapan is both the chance to work on innovative research in another country and to get to know more about Japan and its culture. I think nanotechnology is a very promising field, so it’s exciting to be able to do research on it early on as an undergraduate. More » |

For me, the 2008 NanoJapan program combined two wonderful things I was looking for this summer: a research internship and an opportunity to go abroad. I had never done such a long research internship, although I have had previous research experiences, and it was certainly worth it. |

To me, the NanoJapan Program provided an undergraduate research opportunity introducing me to nanotechnology in the one of the leading countries in nanotechnology as well as a study abroad opportunity. More » |

As a Biochemistry major, I was a little hesitant to apply to NanoJapan, since it’s primarily an engineering-based summer program. The vast majority of the projects were rooted in either electrical engineering or physics. Since I am not at all comfortable (or even familiar!) with those fields, I spent a long time weighing the options in my head. More » |

I worked with two different research groups under the same professor, Itoh-sensei. One group was looking at constructing quantum computers by fashioning transistors out of selectively placed silicon isotopes on silicon “stair-step” constructs. The other group was studying boron diffusion in hopes to learn how to scale down construction of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOS FET) to the nano-scale. More » |
