Materials Science and Engineering: Foundation of Engineering Future

What is Materials Science and Engineering (MSEN)? Come find out what modern material scientists and engineers study, what background would need to pursue an advanced degree in MSEN, and what kind of companies hire MSEN graduates. I will use two examples from my research program to elucidate the multidisciplinary nature of MSEN: (1) inorganic nanoparticles for organic solar cells and (2) polymer nanocomposites for interconnects in high-data-rate communications. In each example, I will illustrate how chemistry, device physics, and engineering must come together to make the project successful. I will also introduce University of Texas at Dallas and its MSEN graduate program.
