This course is followed by the students of the Program in Soft Nanosciences of the UGA Graduate School, in the 1st semester of their M1.
Goal
This course is devoted to students in the first year of the Graduate School Soft-Nano program. Students undertake a research project in soft nanosciences, starting by an appropriation phase. The goal of the course is to learn how to plan, set-up, and write, a research proposal.
Content
Students spend 1+1/2 day per week in their research team. In addition the promotion meets on a weekly basis, and works on the following topics:
reading and synthetizing the scientific literature
understanding the novelty of the approach to be developed
defining the research objectives
defining the new tools /techniques/ know-how needed for the project, starting to acquire them
elaborating a tentative schedule for implementation of the 2-year research work, with milestones
Students take turns in presenting their progress to the promotion.
In addition to this continous activity, they are evaluated at the end of the term through:
- the submission of a research proposal (about 15 pages, including a state-of-the-art, novelty and objectives of approach, new instrumentation/ elaboration/ numerics/ methodology to be developed, expected outcomes, scheme and schedule of implementation)
- an oral public presentation and defense of their proposal, in presence of all the promotion and of a unique pluridisciplinary jury for all students.
