Universtiy of Glasgow

Nanotechnology at The University of Glasgow brings together the expertise of more than 70 academics to influence the emergent technologies of the 21st century. We specialise in five key areas:
• nanotechnology for engineering systems
• nanotechnology for biomedicine
• tools for nanotechnology
• nanotechnology for structural and functional materials; and
• nanoelectronics

The University has been pushing the frontiers of nanofabrication forward for more than 30 years. Transcending the traditional subject boundaries of physics, chemistry, engineering, biology and earth science, our work is highly interdisciplinary and has established a number of world records in nanofabrication technology and device performance.

Based on the strength of our research excellence in nanotechnology The University of Glasgow is one of only 2 Scottish universities to win an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Knowledge Transfer Account which provides support to ensure that research is exploited to maximum effect. The KTA is able to provide financial support for collaborative projects and help organisations and businesses access our nanotechnology skills, knowledge and experience.

At the University we have a long history of working with industry through mechanisms such as collaborative research, contract research, consultancy and training.
