Research Centers
Center for Advanced Solid State Ionics and Energy Storage Research
The center consists of the Energy Storage Research Group and the Advanced Power Prototype Laboratories. It is an interdisciplinary group consisting of faculty and an equal mix of professional staff, graduate and undergraduate students. Our charter is the development and understanding of next generation energy storage materials and energy storage devices.
Ceramic, Composite and Optical Materials Center (CCOMC)
The CCOMC seeks to apply innovative chemistry to engineer materials starting from pre-ceramic polymers and molecular precursors to world class ceramic powder processing and densification. Additionally, we apply advanced chemical approaches to enable the processing of nano-scale, inorganic and organic crystals, particles, films and fibers. Thus, the combined effort spans the scope of particulate material science and technology from particle synthesis and processing through microstructural and property determinations. Visit the website.
