Core faculty members from the founding departments are key enablers of the Program. They are the providers and instructors of various core and elective courses in the nanotechnology curriculum, as part of their regular teaching responsibilities in their academic departments. Listed below are current core faculty members by departments, together with their nano-relevant research interests and expertise. Additional core faculty members will be added to the list as relevant courses are introduced to the curriculum.
