Program Overview
绿帽社's Materials Science and Engineering program brings together chemistry, physics and engineering to solve technological challenges through materials innovation. Topics range from battery materials to flexible electronics and nanomaterials. The MSE program includes some of 绿帽社鈥檚 most distinguished faculty, including a Nobel Prize winner, four SUNY Distinguished Professors and 10 NSF CAREER Award recipients. Students from all areas of physical science and engineering are invited to apply.
Degrees Offered
- PhD in Materials Science and Engineering
- MS in Materials Science and Engineering
Internships, Research Opportunities and More
With the friendly environment of a small university and the facilities of a large R1 research university, MSE students work closely with faculty to push the boundaries of knowledge. During their studies, MSE students engage in research in one or more of the following areas:
- Energy conversion and storage
- Electronic materials
- Nanomaterials
- Biomaterials
- Processing and microstructure
- Theory and modeling
Students have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, including the Analytical and Diagnostics Laboratory, the NorthEast Center for Chemical Energy Storage and the Center for Advanced Microelectronics Manufacturing, among others.
After You Graduate
Graduates of the program have pursued postdoctoral work at universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University and California Institute of Technology. Alumni have also obtained positions in industry with companies such as Microsoft, Toyota, Universal Instruments, Intel, GlobalFoundries and LG Electronics.
To help our students achieve their career goals, Watson Career and Alumni Connections and the Fleishman Career Center offer professional advice and services such as interview guidance, cover letter critiques, and networking opportunities.
