Professor Nosang V. Myung received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1994, 1997, and 1998, respectively. He spent three years as a research engineer specializing in electroplating and surface finishing at the same institution. From 2001 to 2003, he joined the Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as a member of the engineering staff.
Currently, he holds the position of Bernard Keating-Crawford Professor of Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. He was elected as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors in 2022 and as a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society in 2025.
Dr. Myung’s research interests center on the synthesis of nanoengineered materials and their application in advanced technologies, including electronic noses, spintronics, sensors, electronics, optoelectronics, energy harvesting, and environmental remediation. His group aims to control nanoscale features to enhance material properties and device functionalities beyond current capabilities.
During his career, he received numerous awards including Rot Dot Award: Design Concept (2024), Frontiers in Chemistry 2020 Leadership Award, Engineer of Year from Korea Scientists and Engineering Association (2019), Electrochemical Society Electrodeposition Research Division Award (2019), University of California Regent Fellowship, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Spot Award, Abner Brenner gold medal award from American Electroplaters and Surface Finishers Society (AESF), First time author’s award from Plating and Surface Finishing, National Science Foundation graduate fellowship, Department of Education fellowship, American Electroplating and Surface Finishing Summer Scholarship, Electrochemical Society Student Grant, Hughes Aircraft Company Scholarship and Korean American Edward Lee Scholarship.
