Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science and Engineering

Graduate students in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) carry out research which advances current understanding and knowledge in the field, working closely with faculty to conduct research in Lehigh's state-of-the-art nanotech facilities. Faculty enjoy close ties with, and support from, industry and government. Features of the program include research thrusts in microstructural characterization, processing and properties of nanomaterials, ceramics, electronic materials and packaging, and metal processing and performance; interdisciplinary research projects in photonics, polymers, composites, solid free-form and nanoscale fabrication, and materials for bioapplications; and active collaborations with researchers from Europe, South America, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East.
