The Nanooze Staff

I am currently a professor at Cornell University, but helped to start the Nanooze line of museum exhibits, print magazines, and web content. Folks in my research laboratory work on nanotechnology -- making little devices to study biology. I have a B. S. degree from Kansas State University and a Ph.D. from Rutgers (which is in New Jersey). When I am not working, I am at home on a farm with horses, dogs, cats, and a talking bird named Miguel.

Carl Batt

I am currently a postdoctoral associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Massachusetts General Hospital working on the SETG life detection instrument for Mars. I received my B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University. Outside of work, I enjoy creative writing, web design, puzzles, and travel.

Clarissa Lui

I am a graduate student at Cornell University and am working on my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. When I’m not in the lab working with cells and nanoparticles, I like to go on hikes, go biking, and skateboarding in the summer and go snowshoeing and snowboarding in the winter. I am from Argentina and at Nanooze! I develop content for the site and work on translating it into Spanish.

Diego Rey

The Nanooze Editorial Board

I was born and raised in rural New York State and have lived in Tennessee, Vermont, and Missouri. I’m currently the Director of the Office of Science Outreach in the MU Science Education Center at the University of Missouri. I work with teachers to improve the resources available for teaching science, technology, engineering, and math. I have a passion for sharing science with kids and adults in informal settings like museums, 4-H, and after-school programs. In my free time, I like to birdwatch, read, and spend time with my family.

Anna Waldron

She is the Education Coordinator for National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, an NSF-funded partnership of 14 universities. From her office at Georgia Institute of Technology, she coordinates the education efforts of the NNIN sites as well as outreach programs focused on Georgia. Dr. Healy received her Ph.D. in Geological Sciences from the University of South Carolina.

Nancy Healy

I am a professor at Teachers College in Columbia University, that’s located in New York City, the Big Apple. But I was born and raised in England where I went to college in Liverpool (where the Beatles got started). Sometime along the way, I went to teach in Africa and helped to run the school. Now I teach teachers and also look at ways that kids learn and how to make it more fun.
