Introduction to Nano-biophotonics
Instructor: Chia-Fu Chou
Time: Wed. 9:10-12:00
Classroom: 2nd meeting room, 5F, Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica
Office hours: Mon. 10-12 @ P612, IoP
Introdution:
In this course, we will review the basics and recent developments of nanobiophotonics, an emerging field which is cross-displinary among nanoscience and nanotechnology, biology, and photonics. The course is comprised of lectures from several special topics given by experts in these areas, including micro/nanofluidics, single molecule biophysics, DNA microarray, polymer brush, optical tweezers, near-field optics, plasmonics (SPR, SERS), bioimaging techniques (fluorescence, confocal, multiphoton, TIRFM, FRET, X-ray nanobeam, cryo-EM etc.), image analysis, quantum dots, electron and energy transfer reactions, singleenzyme catalytic reactions, ultrafast electron diffraction and lab tours by
AS instructors. Grades will be evaluated on term project based on literature review or experimental work.
Grade evaluation on term project:
Written report (no more than 10 pages, due 1/11/08)-50%
Presentation-50%
