THE FACULTY

Please see the website for current faculty listing.

THE PROGRAM

The program is aimed at training students to contribute to the developing field of nanoscience and provides them with the skills necessary for employment in industry or further graduate study in nanoscience, chemistry, and physics. Graduates of this program will find fulfilling careers in the life, medical, and materials sciences in the New York metropolitan area and beyond.

The M.S. Program in Nanoscience includes faculty members from the Ph.D. Program in Chemistry and Physics at CUNY. Each student will be assigned to a mentor based on his or her research interests and will carry out a research project at the home institution of the mentor, typically one of the CUNY senior colleges or the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC), for at least two semesters.

Master seminars and lecture courses are given at the Graduate Center, which also serves as the administrative headquarters for the M.S. Program in Nanoscience. The M.S. degree is granted by the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York. Masters research is carried out under the direction of a research mentor. The M.S. Program takes advantage of the large faculty in Chemistry and Physics. Students will pursue cutting-edge research in nanoscience. Laboratory work at each of the senior colleges is supported by a wide range of modern instrumentation and augmented by the facilities at the ASRC. One major attribute of the M.S. program is that students conducting research at one senior college have access to the facilities and instrumentation at any of the other senior colleges and the ASRC. Students also have access to computers at the Graduate Center and to the many computational facilities at the senior colleges. Other support facilities include a clean room, machine shops, and electronics shops.

Each of the senior colleges maintains a library with a range of chemistry and physics journals. CUNY faculty and students have access to ACS and APS online journals. Remote access to journal articles is also available at no cost to doctoral faculty and students at any CUNY campus via two document-delivery services: ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) and CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service). In addition, SIBL, the Science, Industry, and Business Library of the New York Public Library, is located in the same building as the Graduate Center.
