Congratulations to John Montoya, Kristin Wilde, Daniel Konopka and Christina Salas; the winners of the NSMS IGERT fellowship for 2008.

Nanoscience and Microsystems

This exciting program bridges the distinct properties of the nanoscale to microsystem functionality.  The integrated academic and research activities highlight our capabilities and unique breadth in materials synthesis and self-assembly, nanolithography, interrogative platforms, and functional micro/macrosystems.

The Nanoscience and Microsystems Program highlights three technical thrusts; Informational Nanotechnology, Nano-Bio Interfaces and Complex Functional Systems.

All participants in the Nanoscience and Microsystems Program are American citizens or permanent resident working towards their Ph.D. degree in a participating UNM graduate field. The program requires that IGERT fellows complete a curriculum of  integrated courses.

This program is a collaborative effort among faculty and fellows from several different scientific departments.

NSMS IGERT fellow Andrew De La Riva just completed his internship in Denmark. Click here to see more about his experience!
