As a field central to technological, industrial and economic development, the Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering takes a multidisciplinary approach, allowing students to tailor their degree to prepare to work in a specialized field of their choice. Courses cover ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, superconductors, composites and other materials systems.
Conduct research based on your interests, from aircraft materials to nanotechnology and organic photochemistry
Fourteen research facilities include the Intelligent Systems Engineering Lab and the X-ray Diffractometer Labs
Work with faculty with journal publications, field experience and grant awards from the NIH, NASA and more
As a doctoral student, Emilio Loera has the opportunity to conduct his own materials science experiments at Argonne National Laboratory, working with field experts, scientists and other students. Back on campus in the lab of Brian Schuster, Ph.D., he has gained access to equipment, conferences and networking events that have propelled his future career as a materials scientist, including being able to attend the University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics, one of the leading conferences in the field.
成人头条s of the program use their research skills and knowledge to build careers in a wide range of fields, including aerospace, materials engineering and systems engineering.
