Congratulations to Robert Accolla, a Senior in Bioengineering at Virginia Tech, selected by NNCI for a Research Experience in Japan this summer. Robert Accolla was one of the 10 participating students in KY MMNIN/UofL IMPACT* Research Experience for Undergraduates in the summer of 2016. Out of 30 applicants, Robert was one of the 6 students awarded to engage in Nanotechnology Research in Japan this summer. We believe Robert is excited for his adventure and ready for a range of nanotechnology projects in the biomedical area, chemistry and hard materials science (ceramic and semiconductors).
