Nicholas Fahrenkopf

Hi, I'm Nicholas Fahrenkopf, I'm currently a PhD candidate at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. Thanks for visiting my site!


Nicholas Fahrenkopf is currently a John J Sullivan Graduate Fellow and Nanobiosciences Ph.D. Candidate at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, University at Albany, State University of New York. He earned his B.S. in physics, also from UAlbany, in 2008.   As an undergraduate Nicholas Fahrenkopf was involved with community service with the Presidential Honors Society, serving as President for the 2006-2007 academic year. He was also active in the Student Association and various student groups. After being inducted into ODK in 2006 he served as co-chair of the Circle’s Leadership Development Committee, and then co-chair of the Capital Region Leadership Conference Committee. In 2008 he was named the UAlbany Circle Leader of the Year, as well as an ODK National Foundation Scholar. Other undergraduate recognitions include the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence, three UAlbany President’s Awards for Leadership, the Class of ’52 Scholarship, and the American Red Cross Blood Services Scholarship. As a graduate student Nicholas Fahrenkopf served as President of the UAlbany Circle, where he instituted term limits, and stepped down after two terms. During that time the UAlbany Circle played host to a Regional Leadership Conference and an ODK National Signature Event- a leadership lecture by former NYSE President William Johnston titled “My Two Worst Days”. Nicholas also served on the President’s Budget Advisory Group, the Strategic Planning Committee, and the Alumni Association’s Graduates of the Last Decade Committee. He served as Lead Senator for the Graduate Student Organization, as graduate student representative to the University Council, and as Parliamentarian to the University Senate. In addition to service to the University, Nicholas Fahrenkopf is an active volunteer with the Ronald McDonald House, and member of the Albany Curling Club where he serves as chair of the Capital Campaign Committee. His research focuses on fabricating novel semiconductor based DNA sensors. In general he is interested in applying physics and engineering advancements and techniques to solve biological and medical problems. He spends much time doing science outreach and education from K-12, as well as working with undergraduate students. In 2011 he was awarded the Wendell Williams Memorial Nanotechnology Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching and Mentoring.
