Faculty
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is a growing and exciting department where faculty and staff work on cutting-edge research. The department focuses specifically on nanoelectronics, photovoltaics, batteries and supercapacitors, atomically precise manufacturing, nanoscale coatings and materials for biomedical applications. More than half of our faculty have prior industrial experience, and almost all have well-established industrial collaborations. Some faculty members provide experience from government labs, and others have worked primarily in academia. Many faculty from other departments are affiliated with materials science and engineering.
