Advanced materials offer the potential for solving problems and improving lives. You can be at the forefront of research into material development, application, improvement, and enhancement through the science of advanced materials doctoral program at Central Michigan University. Advanced materials research paves the way for innovations through multidisciplinary approaches.<br>The CMU science of advanced materials Ph.D. program takes a holistic approach that bridges relevant disciplines to explore new materials and tackle obstacles to improvements.<br><br>Youll thrive in an environment that trains you to be an effective researcher by breaking down artificial barriers between disciplines. Youll combine studies of the science of materials with elements of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics. <br>Coursework is limited and flexible to allow you to focus immediately on the scientific framework for studying materials with your research group. Projects emphasize key themes of modeling, characterization, and synthesis. These are the methodologies employed in materials research and the SAM program encompasses the synergy among them.
