On July 30, 2018, the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) announced the reappointment of Dr. Lisa Friedersdorf as its Director and the appointment of Dr. Stacey Standridge as its Deputy Director. See https://www.nano.gov/node/2080 NNCO is a federal interagency coordinating office that serves as a central point of contact for the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) and supports the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council. NNCO states that Dr. Friedersdorf joined NNCO in December 2011 and served as Senior Scientist and Program Manager for the Nanotechnology Signature Initiatives (NSI). She became NNCO's Deputy Director in May 2014 and NNCO's Director in October 2016. Dr. Friedersdorf has been involved in nanotechnology for more than 25 years, with a particular interest in advancing technology commercialization through university-industry-government collaboration.
