Faculty
JSNN's current dean
Who is Dr. Masud Chowdhury?
May 1st, 2026 in Hawaii
What is MRS Conference?
an analytical instrument that measures the amount of ultraviolet (UV) and visible light that is absorbed by a sample.
What is UV-vis?
This strong mineral acid, often stored in glass bottles inside fume hoods, is widely used for digestion, etching, and preparing metal samples for analysis.
What is nitric acid?
Works with energy storage & conversion, teaches nanomaterial chemistry?
Who is Dr. Hemali Rathnayake?
April 8th, 2026. Students can present their research and sit in on talks
What is ACS Carolina-Piedmont?
used to determine quantitative atomic composition and chemistry. It is a surface analysis technique with a sampling volume that extends from the surface to a depth of approximately 50-100 Å.
What is X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy?
its chemical symbol is Au
What is Gold?
Cancer biology & immunology
Who is Kerui Wu?
November29-December 4 in Boston, MA
2026 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit
This technique uses the absorption of infrared light to identify molecular functional groups and chemical bonding in materials.
What is FTIR Spectroscopy?
this element is considered an intrinsic semiconductor
What is Silicon?
Computational chemistry and biology. Teaches Science integrity
Who is Dr. Yirong Mo?
This event is on April 9th where students can create a poster and win a prize. Held in EUC UNCG campus
What is the Graduate Research and Creativity Showcase?
By measuring how X-rays diffract through a crystalline material, this technique reveals lattice spacing, phase composition, and crystal structure.
What is X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)?
This chelating agent is frequently used in titrations and water testing because it tightly binds metal ions like Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺.
What is EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)?
Assistant Dean of Nanoengineering. Works with microfluidic devices & spectroscopy
Who is Dr. Emmanuel Waddell?
Held April 1st in Desse Ballroom where students can present their project topics
What is NCAT Graduate College Research Symposium?
Using a cantilever with an atomically sharp tip that “feels” a surface, this microscope can image individual atoms without using lenses or electrons.
What is Atomic Force Microscope?
This organometallic reagent, supplied in ether solutions, is extremely moisture-sensitive and is routinely used to form carbon–carbon bonds in synthetic chemistry.
What is a Grignard reagent?
