Our Mission
The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) is a collaboration between two high research universities: North Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T SU) and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC Greensboro). JSSN’s mission is to be a catalyst for breakthrough innovations that provide high-impact academic, industry, and government research outcomes. The research and collaborations formed are leading to breakthroughs in materials, products and processes that stimulate the economy and improve the world around us.
JSNN is also a catalyst for economic development. The Southeastern Nanotechnology Infrastructure Corridor (SENIC) was created as a partnership between Georgia Tech and JSNN. SENIC combines the infrastructure strengths of both Georgia Tech and the JSNN to provide academic, industry and government users with affordable access to one of the largest and most modern Nanofabrication and Nanocharacterization tool sets in the country.
To achieve our mission, JSNN recruits the best and brightest students from a variety of disciplines to conduct advanced research in Nanoengineering and Nanoscience. Students are challenged to choose a research area that is expected to provide significant benefit to mankind. Beyond becoming exceptional researchers, students will develop leadership and communication skills that will make them an exceptional asset in any academic, industry or government organization.
our Vision
Collaboration will always be a core part of JSNN’s DNA. JSNN will constantly seek out strategic collaborations with other academic institutions, industry and government organizations as a catalyst for continuing to produce research breakthroughs.
JSNN actively recruits organizations from academia, industry and government to join. For a nominal annual membership fee that is applied to tool and facility rental, JSNN provides NIC members with training and 24/7 access to JSNN’s facilities, state-of-the-art tools and labs. This is resulting in economic development and job creation for the Greensboro region.
Visit Us
JSNN is located on the south campus of Gateway Research Park, another collaboration between NC A&T and UNCG. Our location at Gateway Research Park provides the opportunity for our members to locate or co-locate facilities adjacent to JSNN’s facilities for 24/7 access to tools and labs.
