Nosang Vincent Myung, the Bernard Keating-Crawford Professor of Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been elected a 2025 Fellow of The Electrochemical Society (ECS). He is one of only 12 scholars worldwide to receive this recognition, which honors his pioneering work in electrodeposition and sensor technologies as well as service to the Society and leadership within it.
Myung’s research group specializes in developing techniques involving electrodeposition, a process whereby materials are deposited onto a surface through the application of an electric field. Using this technique, Myung’s lab creates novel nanostructures and thin films to enhance the conductivity and performance of devices. His research has relevance for spintronics, sensors, electronics, optoelectronics, energy harvesting, and environmental remediation.
Among Myung’s notable innovations is the development of a sensor that functions as an electronic “nose” for detecting everything from air pollutants, to chemical warfare agents, to avian influenza.
Myung is faculty director of the Analytical Science and Engineering at Notre Dame (ASEND) Core Facility and the Materials Characterization Facility (MCF), which aims to solve current, emerging, and industry-relevant problems through the creation of new capabilities in measurement science and engineering. Additionally, he launched the Notre Dame Sensor Initiative (NDSI) to combat the opioid crisis and develop next-generation, dual-use sensor technology for both public and military applications.
The induction of the 2025 Class of ECS Fellows will occur on October 13, 2025, at the 248th ECS Meeting in Chicago.
