The success and impact of the NanoJapan Program is best shown through the further accomplishments of our participants. Since 2006, 144 students have participated, representing 49 universities. NanoJapan has been particularly successful with recruiting groups underrepresented in STEM fields; 35.4% of participants are women, and 16.8% represent diverse ethnic groups in STEM fields (not Asian or Caucasion).
To date eleven NanoJapan students have been listed a co-authors in peer-reviewed journal articles including Applied Physics Letters, Carbon, Physical Review B, Nano Letters, Nano Research, Nanoscale Research Letters, and Scientific Reports.
Of the 109 NanoJapan alumni who have completed their undergraduate degree, 64.2% are pursuing or have received a graduate degree in a STEM field; representing 38 domestic and 5 international graduate institutions or programs. NanoJapan alumni have also been highly competitive for major national and international fellowships and scholarships and 26.9% of our alumni have participated in further international experiences at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
