Tips/Advice to jumpstart
a career in nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is very broad. There is technology
in different fields, from physics, engineering,
biology, and my personal favorite – biophysics.
I would very much like to see students take a
step towards bio-physics because that, along with
a background in biology and chemistry, would provide
them with a multi-disciplinary background which
is almost necessary in nanotechnology in order
to really understand it.
Why did you choose
the field of nanotechnology?
I've always been excited about the biological
applications of nanotechnology. There are a lot
of unsolved problems and that's what brought me
to the field of biophysics in the first place.
What is it like
to work in nanotechnology?
Very knowledgeable and exciting.
