About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to the show, I'm thrilled to have [Guest] with us today, an expert in nanofabrication and the course coordinator for the Postgraduate Certificate in Nanofabrication for Nanophysics Researchers. Can you tell us a bit about the course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Thanks for having me! The course is designed to equip learners with the practical skills needed for nanofabrication research, a critical area in electronics, telecommunications, and healthcare. I've seen a need for formal training in this field, as many researchers learn on the job, which can be challenging and time-consuming. HOST: That makes sense. Considering the growing importance of nanofabrication, what current industry trends do you think learners should be aware of? GUEST: There are a few key trends. First, the demand for miniaturized devices is driving innovation in nanofabrication. Second, there's a shift towards more sustainable and eco-friendly fabrication processes. Lastly, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in nanofabrication is becoming increasingly important. HOST: Fascinating! As someone deeply involved in this field, what challenges have you faced in teaching nanofabrication techniques? GUEST: The rapid evolution of technology poses challenges in keeping the course content up-to-date. Additionally, providing hands-on experience with expensive equipment can be difficult, as not all institutions have access to state-of-the-art facilities. HOST: That's true. Looking ahead, where do you see the future of nanofabrication, and how will this course prepare learners for it? GUEST: I believe nanofabrication will continue to revolutionize various industries, and this course will equip learners with the foundational skills needed to adapt and innovate in this ever-evolving field. By focusing on practical experience, we aim to create confident and skilled researchers ready to make significant contributions. HOST: Well said! Thank you for joining us today and sharing your insights about the Postgraduate Certificate in Nanofabrication for Nanophysics Researchers. We're excited to see the impact this course will have on the industry.
