To those critizising his accent: wtf is wrong with you? Do you know how lucky you are that your country is willing to pay a great salary to researchers and stem professionals in general? They are there because your country wants you to learn from the best. They made the effort to learn english, least thing you can do is appreciate his efforts, by making and effort to understand. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You don't want the best of the best teaching you? Fine you can switch universities or even classes. But don't blame the university for not getting the best education they provided because you decided to drop out the most prepared professor's class just because of their accent. The nanotechnological world is beautiful, it's an honor that this man wanted to upload a high prestege school's lecture for us.
Guadalupe Florian. I don't think anybody complained about the accents of Professor Albert Einstein, Dr. Wernher von Braun and the other 1,600 scientists, engineers and technicians who were part of the Operation Paperclip.
It makes it harder to follow - and not necessarily because of his accent but because he slurs certain words...which cannot be understood by themselves but only by their surrounding context. And that diverts from the topic itself. Meaning: it slows down people and causes tension. I would have left his course after the 5 lecture - I don't want colon cancer due to me constantly being diverted from the topic due to his lack of speaking clearly. I know many Asians who speak clear English. I do not mind their accents - I fact I really really like them. Has nothing to do with his accent.
@@kiswahilikitukuzwe2547 You know that Einstein got rid of his German citizenship on January the 28th, 1896? And that Einstein wrote a letter to President Truman in which he opposed Operation Paperclip? Don't confuse fascists with decent people just because they have the same country of birth (which nobody chooses).
Mgaak Because America provides the resources to attract immigrants that are highly educated but lack the resources to continue research / work in a given field in their own country. Dont forget the lecturer is chinese, my best lecturer is Ethiopian and the lecturer and researcher I admire most is Andrew Ng. Again a chinese American. The content of the video is not why america is ahead, its the fact that a video like this can be made in america.
@@ephipi Buddy, that's not really why they do it. They intentionally release only certain kind of lectures for a reason, it's one of their scheme to attract talent as well. It's standard talent poaching idea.
Lecture starts at 28:05 - before that it is meaningless chitchat. Sadly hard to understand since sometimes he speaks with a clear voice and sometimes not. And the pictures from the projector are hard to identify.
I am really happy with content and aim for these lectures and this might be the subject i am interested in but all the lectures having resolution of 360p is really making me hard to see the slides carefully. I hope someone who reads my comment will address to this point.
The slides are not available but there are lecture notes. See the course on MIT OpenCourseWare at: ocw.mit.edu/courses/2-57-nano-to-macro-transport-processes-spring-2012/. Best wishes on your studies!
i've been waiting a while for this course having bought prof chen's book and engaged in self study. everything is good, but i have one minor nitpick -- please improve the camera work on powerpoint slides please. otherwise just one big that you to MIT!!

Sadly he uses bottom-up explanations and does not define the problems clear enough. Richard Feynman's top-down explanations and easy to follow problem determination are way more easy to follow.
With top-down assessment you have to depend totally on a technology that operates in a biological system based on a 'symptomalogy' type reference.... Not in its system based/growth connections

36:23 - no, it is not "Watt meter² per Kelvin" but "Watt per meter² times Kelvin". I do not believe that this man did not does proper research since his actions and statements are without proper order. Completely different from Feynman's lectures. This lecture is just repelling.
I appreciate the content but the fact that a lecture goes on for 80 minutes with this accent makes it tiring. You could see towards the final 20 mins of the lecture, the students were looking bored and unfocused.
