Technical Liaisons
The NNIN Technical Liaisons are a subset of the NNIN with highly specialized skills or advanced academic training in particular areas. They are often published Ph.D. level scientists who can be a particularly useful resource as you develop your project or as you run into particular processing issues. Please feel free to contact them.
