The students of Materials Science and Engineering program conduct their research in state-of-the-art facilities of the University of Houston as a whole. These include the Nanofabrication Facility, Biomedical Engineering Research Core Laboratory, Materials Characterization Facility, Center for Advance Materials Facilities and many individual faculty laboratories.
These facilities house numerous modern synthesis, processing, testing and characterization tools needed for today’s state-of-the-art materials research. These include Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Atom Probe Microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy, Focused Ion Beam System, Magnetron Sputtering, E-beam deposition, Chemical Vapor Deposition, Reactive Ion Etching, etc.
