3 Description

 

No useful activities.  Very limited resources that could be used for curriculum modules

 

CMSE has a special mission: to foster collaborative interdisciplinary research and education in the fundamental science of materials and in the engineering of materials for specific applications. CMSE not only promotes collaboration among MIT faculty trained in different disciplines, but also between MIT researchers and the researchers of other universities, industry, and government and nonprofit laboratories. Collaborative research is encouraged through several mechanisms: Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs), Initiative Projects, Shared Experimental Facilities (SEFs), and Outreach Programs.

IRGs are composed of MIT faculty who, with their students and postdoctoral associates, investigate fundamental scientific questions and pathways to reach significant technological goals that can only be properly explored in a collaborative, multidisciplinary mode. These problems are too large in scope to be addressed by individual faculty members and their students. The research goals and accomplishments are reviewed regularly so that appropriate adjustments can be made to insure the quality of the Center's research effort. Four IRGs are presently supported.

  • IRG-I:    Microphotonic Materials and Structures
  • IRG-II:   Nanostructured Polymer Assemblies
  • IRG-III:  Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Semiconductor and Magnetic Structures
  • IRG-IV:  Science and Engineering of Solid-State Portable Power Sources
