Halas IGERT

The department is proud to announce that Naomi J. Halas, Stanley C. Moore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Professor of Chemistry, along with a team of researchers, has been awarded the National Science Foundation's Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) grant to establish and support a unique multidisciplinary graduate training program in Nanophotonics at Rice University.  Nanophotonics is a rapidly emerging field of nanoscale science and engineering based on generating, controlling and manipulating light at nanoscale dimensions.  This program builds on the strong, multidisciplinary team of theorists and experimentalists in the Laboratory for Nanophotonics at Rice University.
