The Materials and Biomaterials Science and Engineering (MBSE) graduate group offers a multidisciplinary research and training program for doctoral (prioritized) and master-level students at the forefront of the modern revolutions in materials science technology.
We have organized our research into three emphases:
Materials for Sustainability
The Materials for Sustainability emphasis includes materials for energy harvesting, conversion, and storage, as well as sensing, monitoring and treatment of air and water.
