The 91±¬ÁÏ is home to the new Molecular Engineering Materials Center — a national center of excellence for research, education and training in materials science. The center is a partnership among 91±¬ÁÏ faculty from the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Engineering, the Clean Energy Institute and the Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute and will reinforce the 91±¬ÁÏ’s record of innovative, collaborative and cross-disciplinary research in the materials sciences.
The center is funded by a $15.6 million, six-year grant from the National Science Foundation as part of its highly competitive Materials Research Science and Engineering Center program. Funding for the 91±¬ÁÏ’s Molecular Engineering Materials Center began Sept. 1. The NSF supports 20 MRSECs across the nation, and the 91±¬ÁÏ’s is one of only two on the West Coast.
