Fabrication process techniques including physical vapor deposition, oxidation and diffusion in silicon, chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, plasma etching, and photo and electron beam lithography will be covered. Of special interest in the workshop is a section dealing with the medical uses of nanomaterials and devices including the preparation of nanoparticles for nanobiosensors and nanotheranostics along with the surface modifications of nanoparticles with biomolecules such as antibodies, enzymes, oligonucleotides, and other molecules. Characterization of the modified nanoparticles as well as evaluation of number of biomolecules bound to the surface will be reviewed. In addition to fabrication methods for micro and nano sensors, the application of such sensors in numerous fields, from aerospace, to biomedical and environmental chemical sensing will be covered. Case studies will be utilized in illustrating the important advantages of these miniature sensors.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to Professor Hesketh, Garry W.
