Graduation Project (Medical) MPHYS 493

This course goal is:

• To promote effective communication, ethics and teamwork as they are necessary to conduct independent research work and demonstrate the physics knowledge gained from the programme.
• To learn how to plan, implement and write research results. This will include formulating a research question, designing an experiment, collecting, and analysing data to reach a scientific conclusion. At the end of the course, the student will give an oral presentation with his supervisor and classmates, write research report as a group and design a poster and represent the results of their project.
• One of the projects that the students worked on was fabricating a thin layer of titanium nitride through cathodic spraying towards using it as nerve electrodes to stimulate neurons in the brain. The main objective of the project is to study the structural and electrochemical properties of the thin film.
