Overview
The Materials Science program offered by The University of Vermont is multidisciplinary because it is involved with the physical, mechanical, electrical and chemical properties of materials — mostly solids.
It is multidisciplinary also in that it combines the theoretical and experimental capabilities of a variety of disciplines and applies them to the solution of complex scientific and engineering problems.
Specific research topics include:
- Dynamics of quantum systems with application to nanomaterials
- Electronic properties of graphene
- Synthesis and characterization of electronic materials
- Thin films and microfabrication for use in electronic devices and integrated circuits
- Electron and X-ray diffraction characterization of electronic and magnetic materials
- Experimental and theoretical analysis of musculoskeletal structures
- Biofluid mechanics and transport processes
- Optimization of mechanical properties of structural materials
- Polymers and composites
- Nanostructures
- Strongly correlated electron systems
