About
The Center of Excellence in Nanotechnology (CoEN) is a nanotechnology facility located at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). It is one of the 8 centers of excellence in Thailand. The CoEN at the AIT is used for applied research and graduate education in nanotechnology. Current research activities at the CoEN focus on dye-sensitive solar cells, electronic devices, gas sensors, bio-diagnostic tools, specific microscopic sensors, heavy-metal-ion sensors for wastewater, environmental mitigation through visible light photocatalysis, the shake-up of nanoparticles, and layer-by-layer growth from colloidal particles, among others. The Master's degree program in Nanotechnology was launched in 2009. The center has over 30 members from 10 countries carrying out cross-disciplinary research in nanotechnology. The Center collaborates with many international institutions, most notably: State University of New York at Buffalo, United States, S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, India, Center of Photoelectrochemical Energy, Korea University, South Korea, Center for Nanobioscience, Agharkar Research Institute, India, Inorganic Materials Laboratory, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland, Uppsala University, Sweden, University of Quebec, Canada, Leibniz Institute of New Materials, Germany, University of California, Berkeley,
