<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>So I am a third year EE and lately I've been really interested in the emergence of nanotechnology. I've also been interested in circuits (specifically analog). My gpa stands at about a 3.3 at the moment but it has been rising every quarter. I still have yet to take the GRE's. So can anyone recommend some grad schools that are very strong in electrical engineering and nanotechnology?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Check out University at Albany College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. Lots of building going on and corporate research facilities on site: IBM, Global Foundries, etc over 300 corporate research partners.</p>
<p>If I recall correctly, Rice and Cornell have nanotech specializations</p>
<p>Look at the literature in the areas you are interested in and make note of professors and schools that show up repeatedly. That is a very good indication of the quality of a program in your area of interest.</p>
<p>hmM…have you checked out UC San Diego? It’s the only university with a very develop nanoengineering degree program(The only school that offers a PhD in nanoengineering in the U.S.).</p>
<p>Except you don’t need a “nanoengineering” program to do top-notch nanotechnology research. Especially in research, everything is very interdisciplinary. You can go to an electrical engineering or materials science or mechanical engineering department and reasonably expect to find nanotechnology research. Again, look at journal articles published in areas of interest.</p>
<p>Albany does have a Phd in nanoscale engineering. Here’s the link:

<p>Ahh…thanks for the update. The information I had was 2 years ago. I’m surprise how many universities offer a PhD in nanotechnology/nanoengineering now.</p>
<p>It seems to be very hot right now. My older son had a tour of the Albany facilities over winter break and was very impressed. His mentor/prof advisor at his undergrad school is pushing him to consider nanoscale. His prof did Phd work at Penn State with a nantech emphasis.</p>
