Testimonials

Nano program helps me gain a deep and solid understanding of the semiconductor industry and the science behind it. The cleanroom experience from ESE 5360 and research experience of being a GSF are precious, and the knowledge I learned from those experiences is still helping me in industry now. Liang Li, ASML, Class of 2022

The Nanotechnology program excels in providing hands-on experience through its nanofabrication lab course and GSF program, which was extremely helpful for pursuing PhD. Yeonjoon Suh, Penn ESE PhD Candidate, Class of 2021

Practical knowledge gained from Nanofabrication and Nanocharacterization course and the GSF program was extremely beneficial to my early career in the semiconductor industry. Peilin Li, KLA, Class of 2021

The Nanomaster program has provided me with numerous opportunities through its flexible curriculum and hands-on experience in cleanroom fabrication and characterization. Vishal Venkatesh, Penn ESE PhD Candidate, Class of 2018

I truly valued the Nano's flexibility and curriculum provided a solid foundation for my engineering skills both in-depth and in-breadth. Steve Liu, Ernst & Young, Class of 2018

The industry exposure in the Nanomaster's coursework and the opportunity to participate in research as a Graduate Student Fellow enabled me to confidently grow into a nanotechnology career. Georgia Griggs, Avisi Tech, Class of 2017
