Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green completed her bachelor of science in physics with a concentration
in optics and minor in mathematics from Alabama A&M University in 1999. She received
her master of science in physics with a concentration in Nanobiophotonics in 2009
and her Ph.D. in physics in 2012 from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
As a student, she received $300,000 in scholarships and fellowships, including the
National Physical Science Consortium Fellowship, National Science Foundation Bridge
to the Doctorate Fellowship, David and Lucille Packard Foundation Fellowship and AAMU
Presidential Scholarship.
Before coming to MSM, Dr. Green served at Tuskegee University as an assistant professor
in the department of physics with adjunct appointments in the departments of biological
sciences and materials science engineering. She is a multi-disciplinary physicist
who specializes in nanobiophotonics and targeted cancer therapeutics, using lasers,
nanoparticles, and antibodies to develop biomarker-specific platforms to target, image,
and treat malignant tumors including head and neck and women's cancers.
