Nanofabrication Facility

Two multidisciplinary senior design teams in the College of Engineering and Computing are taking on major health‑related challenges, showcasing how engineering students are applying research, innovation, and collaboration to improve health outcomes.

After participating in George Mason's Nano Boot Campus, George Mason alumnus and veteran Charles Stewart was hired by Micron Technology.

George Mason University received $1 million from the National Science Foundation to establish a program providing hands-on nanofabrication training and education to people seeking a career change.

Beginning fall 2025, George Mason will host the Semiconductor Chip Fabrication and Nano-Characterization certificate program through the Virginia Alliance for Semiconductor Technology (VAST), a statewide consortium advancing microelectronics and nanotechnology training and research where George Mason serves as a founding member.

Ever since InsideNoVa’s Bruce Potter coined the term “nanofab-ulous” to describe the exciting advancements in nanotechnology in the region, George Mason University has embraced it in full force.

George Mason University has the only electron-beam lithography capabilities in all of Northern Virginia, and faculty member Ethan Ahn is eager to help students and colleagues maximize opportunities in this field.

University leaders and special guests attend the ribbon cutting of the university's Nanofabrication Facility.

Mason's new Microfabrication Graduate Certificate program is designed to address the growing demand for multidisciplinary training in the manufacturing sector.
