Twelve North Carolina A&T students spent the summer at UC San Diego through the PREM CREAM collaboration, gaining valuable research experience as part of the university’s RIMSE program. The exchange reflects Professor Kumar’s ongoing commitment to building strong partnerships and student pathways in advanced materials science.

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University has received $4.2 million for six years from the Division of Materials Research (DMR) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund an interdisciplinary program aimed to enhance diversity in materials research. The Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) program at N.C. A&T will be led by Dhananjay Kumar, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering (COE).

Dhananjay Kumar, Director of CEDARS and PI of the CREAM center, was among the team members honored with the 2025 Interdisciplinary Team of the Year Award at North Carolina A&T
