Nano technology is a rather new phenomenon which not many people are aware of. It has been established into a separate academic field which aims to prepare individuals with the technical expertise regarding the development and modification of various devices with atomic precision. The training is for those devices in which the dimension of the particles is less than 100 nanometers.
Nano-electronics and nano devices make use of different established sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer sciences and engineering. A number of important breakthroughs have been achieved using nano-technology in various domains such as designing stain repellent textiles, gene chip designing, automobile industry, nano crystal installation in bumps, space research organizations, nanostructured materials used in films etc.
Given the fact that nano-technology is a rather intricate field to work in, Indian institutes have developed an infrastructure that allows them to offer different courses in the field.
The different courses and their eligibility
One thing that you need to understand about nano-technology is that it is an inter-disciplinary subject. The eligibility criteria for nano-technology courses is rather high as only post graduates in different fields like physics, biology and chemistry can apply for these programs. The basic programs offered are M.Sc and M.Tech courses.
The main focus of nano-technology courses lies in the following areas:
1. The designing of electronic components along with special emphasis on power and dimension.
2. The designing of durable, cheaper and resistant materials.
3. The convergence of nano- technology, generic medicine and development of a unique drug delivery system.
4. Understanding and developing techniques for tapping solar energy and also ways to increase in its power
5. The relation between nano technology and environmental science.
Some of the leading institutes offering nano-technology courses in India are:
Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore
Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research in Bangalore
Solid State Physics Laboratory in Delhi
National Physical Laboratory in Delhi
National Chemical Laboratory in Pune
Central Scientific Instruments Organization in Chandigarh
Indian Institutes of Technology
Amity Institute of Nano-technology in Noida
Area of employment and scope for nano-technologists
Individuals who have specialized in nano-technology can offer their services to various industries ranging from agriculture, medicine, teaching, genetics and environment industry. Furthermore one can seek employment in bio-technology, forensic sciences and even space research.
Since India is a rapidly developing as a nation there are tons of job opportunities for nano technologists which are even more likely to grow.
Typical jobs include working as an application engineer, power systems specifier, industry analyst, nano lithographer and energy harvesting technology specialist.
There are hoards of companies in India that are seeking professionally trained nano technicians. The most prominent of these companies are Innovations Unified Technology, Velbionanotech, Monand Nanotech, Cranes Software International and Qtech nanosytems.
There are even more jobs out there in the international arena if an individual is willing to leave India in pursuit of a better career. Jobs are at bay in different segments of nano-medicine and nano-polymer as well as integration engineering. The foreign lands offer ample research opportunities to nano technicians as well. Hence we find nano-technology to be an extremely lucrative line to choose as a career option.
