I spent almost four years in the Institute of Nanotechnology at JUST as an undergraduate and graduate student. It was an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge and build research experience in nanomaterials synthesis, nanodevices fabrication, and state-of-the- art characterization techniques. I left the institute years ago, but what I learned there formed a solid academic and research base for my Ph. D study. The institute allowed me to work with good researchers, meet with talented students, and make good friends
