Robert M. Dunn, most recently the director of the Integrated Engineering and Business Practices Program in the University of Notre Dame’s College of Engineering, has been named the managing director of the Center for Nano Science and Technology (NDnano) and the recently established Midwest Institute of Nanoelectronics Discovery (MIND).

In this new role, Dunn will serve as both an advocate of the organizations and a facilitator for them, working closely with faculty, staff and industry and government partners as the research activities in these centers continue to grow. He also will coordinate outreach and commercialization efforts, including the development of an industrial affiliate’s network, and assist the transition from his previous position by helping to identify and train a new director of the college’s business practices program.
