...to Innovative Environments in Industry and Academia.
The alums and faculty of our department are known for their innovative spirit, and our students are educated and trained in this exciting environment. Our current faculty has well over 120 patents and our graduates become leaders in industrial and academic innovation. This innovative mind-set differentiates our students and makes them highly sought after by employers.Some examples of inventions by MSE alums:
|
|
| The optically active air-clad rare-earth doped fiber laser amplifier, essential to telecommunications over long distances. (Jim Fajardo MSE 1992) | Pioneering inventions in the field of plasmon-photon coupled optical devices. (John Ballato MSE 1993) |
|
|
| The chemical vapor deposition process was applied to the production of optical fibers, enabling development of high bandwidth fibers essential to today's communications networks. (Peter Schultz MSE 1964) | Specialized raised pedestal ceramic substrates were developed to increase production rates and lower costs, maintaining US competitiveness in this critical technological environment. (Ben Fasano MSE 1975) |

We Are Searching for a New Professor in Glass
Posted: September 16, 2012
The Materials Science and Engineering Department seeks to hire a tenure track faculty member who
(1) has research experience and training (experimental and/or theoretical) in fields generally encompassed by: glass and amorphous materials, optical and photonic materials, ceramics, geology, mineralogy, or related, and
(2) who is enthusiastic about building a thriving research program in glass science and innovative applications aimed at solving critical global problems.
Preference will be given to candidates at the Assistant Professor level, however outstanding candidates at higher ranks will also be considered. The successful candidate will have completed their PhD prior to the start of employment and be able to undertake the normal faculty roles of research, teaching, and service.
Professor Haber is Major Researcher in $90 million, 10 Year DOD Program
Posted: August 13, 2012
The US Army has enlisted the help of several universities to help develop more effective protective materials for soldiers and vehicles. Professor Richard Haber of the Materials Science and Engineering Department is a major part of this effort and is leading the ceramic science and engineering segment of the program, in which he will direct $9 million of research aimed at developing processes and methods to create lightweight boron carbide armor.
