Overview

The Materials Science degree 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.

Research Areas

The research programs pursued in Materials Science have two areas of specialization: electronic materials and bio-polymeric materials.

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
