The NIST PML/UMD Fellows Program was a nanotechnology NIST Nanoscale Science and Technology Postdoctoral and Visiting Senior Fellowship Program.

The UMD/NIST PML fellows program is formally know as the NIST Nanoscale Science and Technology Postdoctoral and Visiting Senior Fellowship Program.

The program ws funded by a cooperative agreement between the NIST PML (Physical Measurement Laboratory) and UMD’s IREAP, and supported research projects within various nanoscience measurement topics.

Researchers at all levels were hired at UMD’s IREAP to work at NIST PML in Gaithersburg, MD with mentorship from a project leader from either the Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division or the Nanoscale Device Characterization Division.

Fellows published and presented at professional conferences while receiving personalized professional development mentorship as part of the program. Alumni went on to positions in academia, government labs, and industry.

The program existed from 2006 to 2020, starting under the leadership of Ellen Williams, and has served 170 fellows to date. I was Scientific Coordinator of the program from 2014 to 2020 (adding co-PI role in 2019).

Associated grants: NIST UMD Cooperative agreement - Dan Lathrop PI, Daniel Serrano co-PI, dollar amount

To give your project a background in the portfolio page, just add the img tag to the front matter like so:

---
layout: page
title: project
description: a project with a background image
img: /assets/img/12.jpg
---

Caption photos easily. On the left, a road goes through a tunnel. Middle, leaves artistically fall in a hipster photoshoot. Right, in another hipster photoshoot, a lumberjack grasps a handful of pine needles.

This image can also have a caption. It's like magic.

You can also put regular text between your rows of images, even citations (Einstein & Taub, 1950). Say you wanted to write a bit about your project before you posted the rest of the images. You describe how you toiled, sweated, bled for your project, and then… you reveal its glory in the next row of images.

You can also have artistically styled 2/3 + 1/3 images, like these.

The code is simple. Just wrap your images with <div class="col-sm"> and place them inside <div class="row"> (read more about the Bootstrap Grid system). To make images responsive, add img-fluid class to each; for rounded corners and shadows use rounded and z-depth-1 classes. Here’s the code for the last row of images above:

<div class="row justify-content-sm-center">
  <div class="col-sm-8 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/6.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-4 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/11.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
</div>
