Welcome to Professor Alexandra Navrotsky's Web Site
Professor Navrotsky interviewed about the dark side of nanotechnolgy:
"In the unknowns of emerging nanotechnology, researchers are wondering if the science behind trendy no-smell socks, underwear and hunting gear might create unintended consequences in the environment..." click here to read the full story online
High school student Divya Nag was awarded 1st Place in the Senior Division, Earth and Environmental Sciences as well as The United States Navy/Marine Corps Overall Excellence award for her poster entitled “Thermal Analysis and Thermogravimetry Techniques to Quantify and Prevent Forest Fires”. Her poster was judged on multiple criteria including creative ability, scientific thought, thoroughness, and clarity of presentation. Divya has been working with Sergey Ushakov in the Navrotsky lab and is planning to return for another project during her senior year.
