Research
Developing tomorrow's materials for the next millennium
Following on a long and distinguished tradition of applying the principles of basic sciences and engineering, our faculty undertakes research to understand the behavior of materials, develop new materials, and develop new applications for them. Their research is at the forefront of soft and hard materials, bio and nano materials, functional materials, computational materials science, and manufacturing and processing of materials.
Research Excellence
Discoveries in the Materials program are made daily. Our students and faculty continue to break barriers and advance innovative solutions for new materials, material manufacturing technologies and computing solutions for designing new materials and investigating their properties.
The materials program leverages numerous exceptional facilities within and outside engineering at UH and outside UH at partner Institutions and collaborators.
By virtue of its interdisciplinary nature, the Materials Science and Engineering Program at UH is part of collaborative centers and institutes at UH that are cross-departmental and inclusive of virtually every discipline in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
