Rosemary L. Calabro

Rosemary is an NRC Postdoctoral Fellow with the U.S. Army DEVCOM-Armaments Center and Department of Chemistry and Life Science at the United States Military Academy. She received her Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Kentucky and her B.S. in chemistry from Indiana University. Her research focuses on understanding the structure-function relationship of nanomaterials spanning many areas, including magnetic nanoparticles, graphene quantum dots, upconverting nanoparticles, plasmonic nanoparticles, and transition metal aerogels. She has applied unique techniques, including laser ablation in liquid and magnetic-field assisted synthesis to synthesize those nanomaterials. Rosemary has a passion for mentoring students, especially at the undergraduate level.
