  1. Whitney, Physics Wiz Meet physicist Whitney Ingram, breaking down barriers in nanomaterials and gender roles. Today she’s sharing her research on invisibility cloaks with New Sincerity. As a child, I was always curious about the natural world: why does this glow? How does electricity work? Those questions never died as I got older. I will be the first black female to get a PhD in Physics. My research focuses on plasmonic nanomaterials, which have applications in stealth technology. Yes, invisibility cloaks exist! I had my share of hurdles. I do feel like there is this unspoken mental barrier, where women are still told they cannot handle the challenges associated with math and science, but I expect that will change. Mentorship is important to encourage the next generation (middle and high school student) if we want the number of women in science to increase. In my lab I have mentored both men and women. Many of whom have gone on to get graduate degrees. Follow us Follow us NewSincerity.us NewSincerity.us
