Materials Research at Harvard University
- John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied SciencesResearch interests include: energy & environmental systems, marriage of biological & artifical systems, and materials & devices.
- The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC)Organized into Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGS): multiscale mechanics of films and interfaces, engineering materials and techniques for biological studies at cellular scales, and interface-mediated assembly of soft materials.
- The Harvard University Center for the Environment (HUCE)Encourages research and education about the environment and its many interactions with human society. The Center draws its strength from faculty members and students across the University in fields including chemistry, earth and planetary sciences, engineering and applied sciences, biology, public health and medicine, government, business, economics, religion, and the law.
- The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard UniversityAims to discover the engineering principles that nature uses to build living things and to harness this knowledge to create biologically inspired materials, devices, and control techniques for medical and non-medical applications. A deeper understanding of how living systems build, recycle, and control also will ultimately lead to more efficient ways of converting energy, controlling manufacturing, improving the environment, and creating a more sustainable world.
