Smalley InstituteSmalley Institute

 Smalley Institute Members

The Smalley Institute strives not only to advance the field of nanotechnology through world-class research in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering but also to understand and promote the societal aspects of nanotechnology through the study of history, anthropology, economics, and public policy.  The institute includes 151 faculty and staff members in 21 departments with over 600 students.

The members of the Smalley Institute collaborate on a variety of projects from educating the next generation of scientists to detecting and treating cancer to helping shape government policies on the safe handling of nanomaterials.  To help you find the Smalley Institute member working in the areas that interest you, we have sorted the members by nanotechnology discipline.  Additionally, you can sort our members by name, RQI/SI Members or department.
