UNCG chemist receives competitive NSF LEAPS grant

Dr. Shabnam Hematian’s new NSF grant will catalyze both science and student research opportunities. This spring, Hematian was awarded a two-year, $250,000 grant to fund new research on photocatalysts through an NSF program known as LEAPS – Launching Early-Career Academic Pathways in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

Croatt Lab Group 2022

Dr. Mitch Croatt has a theory about his lab group, and it fits right into that Spartan spirit at UNC Greensboro.
“The relationships that develop in a lab are similar to those on a sports team, where everyone helps one another and a success for one is a success for all,” he says. “They bond like a team and have healthy competitions to push one another to become better. I view myself as the coach of the team whose role is to both train and educate the players.”
