I’m pleased to announce that the PHYS 3016, Sensors, course is now available to take for all student with course prerequisite of any 15 credits. Sensors are used in a variety of applications in industry, environment, and medicine. During this course students learn basic characteristics of sensors and how to classify them into different categories such as thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical, and chemical. Students work on solving a problem by proposing a sensor system and learn how to define the sensors’ performance criteria and interpret output data.

I’m pleased to announce that the PHYS 2016, Biophotonics, course is now available to take for all student with course prerequisite of any 15 credits. During this course Students explore the principles of light interaction with biological systems and specific biomedical applications of photonics. The course covers basic principles of light, fundamentals of light sources, light­ tissue interaction, optical fiber, microscopy, optical probes, biosensors, optical image procedures, and applications of nanotechnology and nanomaterial in biology and medicine.
