Overview
The Duke Photonics Certificate Program provides a venue for master's and PhD students to learn more about photonics as a path to interdisciplinary research and technology development.
This Master in Electrical and Computer Engineering (with concentration in Photonics) program is offered through the multidisciplinary Fitzpatrick Institute of Photonics, which is based within the Duke University Pratt School of Engineering. Students are encouraged to develop broad and transferable sets of skills in their course work and research activities.
Duke University's Electrical and Computer Engineering master's concentration in microelectronics, photonics and nanotechnology (MPN) is led by international leaders in the areas of nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, microfluidic systems, integrated optics, sensors, integrated multifunctional devices/systems, energy conversion devices, and quantum sensors.
The Microelectronics, Photonics and Nanotechnology research at Duke University is highly interdisciplinary, and includes the fabrication of devices and circuits through the state-of-the-art Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility (SMIF) cleanroom and characterization lab.
