Engineering applications call for materials with specific sets of properties, which are determined by material structure, composition, and processing history. At the doctorate level, relevant length scales can range from nanometers for advanced materials, to microscopic for critical microstructural concerns, up to the macroscopic for traditional engineering. Faculty in the Materials focus area perform research in the areas of design and development of metallic, ceramic, and polymeric materials and their composites, nanoscale characterization and processing, energy-related materials and devices, theoretical modeling and simulation, the study of chemical and mechanical effects at interfaces, enhanced natural and bio-geo inspired solids, and bio-medical materials.
