The Center of Excellence (CoE) in Nanotechnology is located at the Asian Institute of Technology campus. It is one of the eight centers of excellence in Thailand.
The CoEN at AIT is about the applied research and graduate education in nanotechnology. The unified concept of this center's research activities is the usage of the inexpensive wet-chemical methods to fabricate innovative materials and futuristic device components. Current research activities at the CoEN focus on the dye-sensitive solar cells, electronic devices, gas sensors, bio-diagnostic tools, specific microscopic sensors, heavy-metal-ion sensors for wastewater, environmental mitigation through visible light photocatalysis, the shake-up of nanoparticles, and layer-by-layer growth from colloidal particles, among others. The Master's degree program in Nanotechnology was launched in 2009. The center has over 30 members from 10 countries carrying out cross-disciplinary research in nanotechnology.
