[1] Nomngongo's studies focus on using nanotechnology to build better water filtering and quality monitoring techniques for use in remote communities.
[5] She credits the "flexibility and distinct properties [of] nanomaterials" in developing new technologies for water remediation.
[6] Nomngongo's research has also explored better methods of detecting contaminants from pharmaceutical wastewater, which can evade removal from regular water treatment plants.
[7] Nomngongo provides teaching and training to disadvantaged rural schools, and has been recognized for her promotion of STEM studies.
In this role, Nomngongo is tasked to help train the next generation of students and researchers on using nanotechnology to further improve water security.
