Research Overview
As part of our outreach efforts, a week-long summer "nano-camp" was held where middle school students were introduced to the nano-chemistry world. They learned to synthesize nanomaterials including pigments, sensors, and magnetic nanocomposites for environmental pollution cleanup.

Research
Undergraduate research in our lab is open to students at all levels and we also frequently mentor high school students.
All presentations and publications are a result of the work done in our laboratory at Radford University by undergraduates and shows that through hard work and dedication, high quality science can be accomplished even at the undergraduate level.
Our students have entered a number of research competitions and have won many awards including “best presentation" awards at all levels and have garnered over $100K in external funding to support their research.
