COSINC Advantage

Experienced

COSINC has expert staff available to train and assist users in their projects, including nanofabrication process development. Our staff can also be involved as collaborators and/or co-PIs on research proposals, including the write-up of sections and leading proposals.Ìý

COSINC lab staff

Open access

Once a researcher is trained by our staff, they have 24/7 open access to our facilities and equipment. This approach encourages users from diverse academic disciplines. In fact, COSINC offers a common platform for the convergence of multiple scientific and engineering disciplines. It enables innovations in a wide range of areas, from electronics, photonics and quantum science to biomedical, pharmaceutical and nanomedicine.
