Research
The Department is organized into four distinct - yet interrelated - groups, specializing in:
Students working in these areas have the opportunity of interacting not only with the Departmental faculty and students, but also with a broader community of about 80 faculty and their groups doing Materials-related research at UCSB. These interactions are fostered by the numerous Materials-related research centers at UCSB.
The Materials Department prides itself on sustaining a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment. Most of the faculty have joint appointments with other departments in the College of Engineering, including Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering, or the College of Letters and Science including Chemistry, Physics, and the intercollege Biomolecular Science and Engineering Program.
The collaborative research environment is fostered through several major centers:
Solid State Lighting & Energy Center
Materials Research Laboratory
Mitsubishi Chemical Center for Advanced Materials
International Center for Materials Research
The California Nanosystems Institute
Center for Multifunctional Materials and Structures
UCSB Center for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering
