That is evidenced through the UTEP alumna’s work in the field of nanotechnology — the study of the ultrafine particles of material that are the focus of emerging technology in agriculture. Her efforts, initially as a postdoctoral scientist, at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) in New Haven recently earned her a mention in The National Nanotechnology Initiative Supplement to the President’s 2019 Budget, a report prepared for President Donald Trump by each federal agency.
