The goal of this course is to review the fundamentals of semiconductor materials, p-n junction diodes, and MOS capacitors. There are many semiconductor technologies based on different material systems, but the most important is complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, or CMOS for short. This course will focus on semiconductor materials and devices relevant to CMOS … [Read more...] about Fundamentals of Semiconductor Characterization

Signaling actions of small molecules
Our life is fine-controlled by various molecules in cells. Different types of molecules include macromolecules (e.g., protein, nucleic acid) and small molecules. In addition to classical views of central dogma, emerging roles of small molecules called metaboites have been recently proposed to significantly impact biological events. Metabolites are contiuously and dynamically … [Read more...] about Signaling actions of small molecules
Agroforestry I: Principles and Practices
Agroforestry – the practice of growing trees and crops in interacting combinations – is recognized the world over as an integrated approach to sustainable land-use. Agroforestry systems, being multifunctional, facilitate not only the production of food and wood products but also provide a variety of ecosystem services such as climate-change mitigation, biodiversity … [Read more...] about Agroforestry I: Principles and Practices
Agroforestry II: Major Systems of the World
Welcome to Agroforestry II: Major Systems of the World A focused exploration of agroforestry practices from around the world. This is the second module of the five-module course covering the various aspects of agroforestry including the global distribution of the practices, their underlying principles, and major scientific advances during the past nearly five decades, presented … [Read more...] about Agroforestry II: Major Systems of the World
Cities, Climate and Change: Pathways and Opportunities
How can we develop transformative skills and capacities to achieve climate neutral and sustainable cities? This course explores how we can design, create and achieve climate neutral and sustainable cities. We embrace the “mission to the moon” approach for tackling greenhouse emissions from cities putting an emphasis on pathways and opportunities. We utilise insights and … [Read more...] about Cities, Climate and Change: Pathways and Opportunities
