Nanotechnologist Courses

Nanotechnologists manipulate the world’s smallest matter and substances (ie, atoms and molecules that are smaller than 100 millionth of a millimetre) to develop innovative equipment, materials, medications, and diagnostic tools. They are at the leading edge of medical research and biotechnologies and can specialise in biomechanical engineering, agriculture, renewable energies, food manufacturing, robotics, cosmetics, pharmaceutical engineering and much much more.

As a Nanotechnologist you could be conducting an experiment to test a theory you’ve developed, ordering chemicals to use in the laboratory, using computer modelling software, overseeing staff in the laboratory, delivering a presentation to a group of medical professionals, working with academic researchers to publish your research findings, collaborating with a robotics engineer, or attending an international conference on regenerative medicine and biotechnologies.

To succeed in this occupation you’ll need a curious mind, a strong set of technical skills, and the ability to document and showcase your innovations and research findings.
