Women's History Month at CNSI

Celebrating Women’s History Month at CNSI

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we would like to honor the women members of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA. These researchers, all from a variety of backgrounds, have made significant contributions to the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology—conducting groundbreaking research in areas such as nanomedicine, nanoelectronics, and nanomaterials. Their work has resulted in new technologies and materials that have the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries, from healthcare to electronics to energy.

In addition to their research, these women are also leaders and mentors within the scientific community. They have served as role models for the next generation of female scientists and have worked tirelessly to promote diversity and inclusion within their field.

We would like to recognize and thank our women members of CNSI for their exceptional work and dedication to advancing the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Their contributions have paved the way for future generations of female scientists and have helped to create a more diverse and inclusive scientific community.
