Goals

• As part of the CNM UEC, I would like to represent two different classes of users: those who need access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and those who only need access to workhorse equipment. I believe that if the CNM facilities can meet the needs of both sets of users, it will not only meet its scientific and technical mission but also facilitate broader collaborative efforts for a diverse nanoscience community.
