Professor or Research Group that works on Nanotechnology-agriculture

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around finding research groups or professors that focus on the application of nanotechnology in agriculture, particularly for a friend interested in pursuing a PhD in this field after completing a master's thesis on the synthesis of nanomaterials.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for research groups or professors that integrate nanotechnology with agriculture.
  • Another participant suggests the University of Guelph as a suitable institution for this type of research.
  • A later reply confirms that the group at the University of Guelph aligns well with the friend's interests and mentions the University of Waterloo as a potential option due to their collaboration with Guelph.
  • Participants express appreciation for the information shared and discuss challenges in navigating university websites.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the University of Guelph is a relevant institution for the research interest expressed, with no significant disagreement noted regarding the recommendations.

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention difficulties in accessing information on university websites, which may limit the ability to fully explore available research opportunities.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in pursuing research in nanotechnology applications in agriculture, particularly at Canadian universities.

Greetings!

I have this friend who had synthesis of nanomaterials as his MS thesis. After talking with him, I realized that his passion is on helping the farmers in the agriculture industry. I want to help him find a research group or professor (for his Phd) in which he can apply what he already does (i.e. nanomaterials) into his advocacy or passion (i.e. helping the farmers/agriculture). Do you know any institution who is into this kind of research? Thank you very much.

If you have any interest in Canadian universities, the University of Guelph does this type of research.
 
Thanks for your reply! Sorry for the late reply. Just had connection with the internet. I will check this university. Thanks again. :)
 
It would appear that this group at U. Guelph in particular is pretty much exactly what your friend is looking for. Note also that Guelph. You might also want to look at nanotechnology at the nearby University of Waterloo, who collaborate closely with Guelph in their physics program.

Thank you LastOneStanding! I have trouble navigating through the website of U. Guelph. Thanks for your help... I really want to encourage him to take his Ph. D. :)
