材料科学与工程哲学博士-材料表征

新材料的开发需要在从马科到原子的各种长度尺度上表征其结构。在每个尺度上，必须探索相关的长度尺度结构和化学起伏，以了解结构-性质的关系。该领域的研究重点是开发能够充分利用每个散射电子或X射线的新技术，解释新材料的特性，并了解如何通过修改其微观和纳米结构特征从旧材料中显现出新特性。材料科学与工程学科一直在迅速变化，随着探索材料结构和特性动力学的实验工具，高通量多尺度计算方法和材料信息学的最新进展。同时，我们变得越来越跨学科和协作，使社区能够寻求和回答针对我们的全球挑战的更具创新性和复杂性的解决方案。这些发展不
The development of new materials requires characterization of their structure across a range of length scales ranging from maco to the atomic. At each scale, one must explore the relevant length scale structures and chemical fluctuations to understand structure-property relationships. Research in this area focuses on developing new techniques to make the most of every scattering electron or X-ray, explaining the properties of new materials, and understanding how new properties can emerge from old materials through modifying their micro- and nano- structure features. Materials science and engineering continues to change rapidly as a discipline, with recent advancements in experimental tools for probing the dynamics of material structure and properties, high-throughput multiscale computational methods and materials informatics. At the same time, we become increasingly interdisciplinary and collaborative, allowing the community to seek and answer more innovative and complex solutions to our global challenges. Not only do these developments change how we do research, but they change how we approach graduate education. MSE at NCSU continuously modernizes our graduate training paradigm, with the goal of providing a supportive environment, leading educators and state-of-the-art resources to create outstanding scientists, engineers and global leaders. While an innovative graduate curriculum and graduate-research mentorship continue to underpin the graduate program, we also emphasize leadership skills, global engagement and entrepreneurialism. Through programs such as the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship on the Science and Engineering of Atomic Structure, we take a leading role in changing the global paradigm for interdisciplinary graduate education.
