Three alumni. Three career paths. One school. So much success.
When you hear the name the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, you may wonder what careers graduates pursue.
The possibilities are endless.
Effat Zeidan Hatoum ’16 Ph.D. landed in academia. Beth Williard ’23 M.S. works as a chemist. And Naga Kollu ’20 Ph.D. leads pharmaceutical development. Their stories exemplify the diversity of careers a JSNN degree helps graduates achieve.
The students in our Class of 2025 hype video are more than just scholars. They represent the varied backgrounds, passions, and motivations of UNC Greensboro’s student body. Think you can’t relate? Think again.
Meet an online student and a student government vice president, a parent and a teenager, an international student and a frat boy, a scientist and a UNCG staff member, a doctor, a master, and an advisor – all within this group of three impressive graduates set to cross the stage at this year’s commencement.
Congratulations to Prof. Jianjun Wei from the Department of Nanoscience for receiving a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation’s Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems (CBET) Division in the Engineering Directorate.
We’re excited to have Mrs. Stockweather on board and look forward to the expertise and leadership she brings to our research community. https://www.uncg.edu/news/jsnn-director-prioritizes-safety/
Small, membrane-bound structures that cells in the human body release to transport a variety of proteins, nucleic acids and metabolites may also be used to carry specialized treatments for a wide array of diseases across a critical layer of cells meant to protect the brain against pathogens: the blood-brain barrier.

Advanced microscopy comprises an array of imaging techniques that enable the visualization of samples at the nanometer and subnanometer scale. Electron and scanning probe microscopy techniques such as SEM, TEM, and AFM are essential tools to many students at the JSNN who conduct research in fields as diverse as synthetic biology, physics,… Continue reading…
Congratulations to Dr. Michael Curry, Professor in the Department of Nanoengineering, who has been appointed as the inaugural Tech Transfer & Commercialization Fellow at N.C. A&T’s Center of Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEE&I). The Center is the university’s hub for entrepreneurship and innovation and combines the innovative ideas and research… Continue reading…
Nanotechnology was on the spotlight at the JSNN on November 21st. A delegation from the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), led by Director Branden Brough and Deputy Director Quinn Spadola, and representatives from the Army Research Office (ARO), visited the JSNN for an exciting daylong event that included several oral presentations, two panels discussing… Continue reading…
Congratulations to Department of Nanoengineering faculty members Michael Curry and Jerald Dumas, and their partners at six additional historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), for receiving a three-year, $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to enhance semiconductor research and workforce development. The collaborative project is part of “Advancing Research Capacity at… Continue reading…
