Materials Science

The materials science program offers a master of science in materials science and a materials science option for the Ph.D. in engineering. The program offers research opportunities over a broad range of areas including synthesis, deposition, and characterization of thin films, self-organizing nanostructures, scanning probe microscopy, chemical vapor deposition, polymer synthesis and processing, molecular interaction science, micromechanics, molecular beam mass spectrometry, fullerene characterization, morphology and synthesis of polymer nanoparticles. The materials science program offers the master of science degree in materials science and doctor of philosophy degree in materials science and engineering. The program offers research opportunities over a broad range of areas including synthesis and characterization of thin films, fullerenes and nanotubes, molecular templates, self-organizing nanostructures, polymers and polymer nanoparticles, using scanning probe microscopy, physical and chemical vapor deposition methods, micromechanics, molecular beam mass spectrometry, and computational methods.
