NBTC: Research Areas

Cornell has a tradition of operating cross-disciplinary research Centers and has an established mechanism for managing university centers that cut across department and college lines. The leaders of this program are involved in collaborative research and committed to an interactive, multi-institutional effort. The Center director is Harold Craighead. An Executive Committee reviews scientific proposals and guides research programs. An External Advisory Board, whose members have been selected from outside of the NBTC, is charged with annually reviewing the plans of the Center and helping us chart new directions.
