WVNano Organization

WVNano is a cross-cutting initiative of campus-wide scope and faculty participation. We are organized around the Initiative's three core mission elements. First, at our center is our research core built around our functional building block groups and the projects and initiatives that they spawn. Second, the shared nanoscience and engineering resource infrastructure necessary to support our research and education activities and provide a state resource for state-wide NSE innovation and economic development is operated and advanced under the auspices of WVNano. Finally, the third element of our organization addresses our mission to advance NSE education and outreach with programs spanning NSE human resource development from pre-college through post graduate and professional levels.

The Initiative is administratively based in the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development at WVU and its director reports to the Associate Vice President for Research.
