机械工程理学硕士-材料科学

从早期金属时代到现在的纳米时代，材料科学实际上已成为所有工程突破的关键推动力。随着材料的科学发展和发现，MIE教职员工参与了跨学科研究，以进一步进行材料加工，合成和设计。研究领域与东北大学在可持续性，安全性和健康方面的广泛计划以及制造业和纳米技术方面的国家计划保持一致。在金属/合金，聚合物，生物材料（包括模拟生物）和包含纳米级材料的复合材料领域的研究，利用实验，理论和计算技术来针对特定材料量身定制材料中的结构-处理-性能关系。应用程序。当前的研究领域包括控制合成和组装过程以产生明确的原子结构，缺陷工程，操
Material Science has been the key enabler in virtually all of the engineering breakthroughs that have occurred from early metal ages to the present nano-age. In step with the scientific development and discovery of materials, members of the MIE faculty are involved in interdisciplinary research to further materials processing, synthesis and design. Research areas are aligned with Northeastern University's broad initiatives of Sustainability, Security, and Health, as well as national initiatives in manufacturing and nanotechnology. Investigations in the areas of metals/alloys, polymers, bio-materials (including bio-mimetics), and composites incorporating nano-scale materials make use of experimental, theoretical, and computational techniques to tailor structure-processing-property relationships in materials for specific applications. Current areas of research include, controlling synthesis and assembly processes to produce well-defined atomic structures, defect engineering, manipulating atomic/micro-structures and the chemistry of materials to optimize properties for next-generation structural, electronic, and energy applications, solidification and deformation processing, and life cycle assessments for nano-composites/materials. The faculty and students are committed to creative thinking and engineering innovation to propel materials development to the forefront of scientific research.
