Interdisciplinary Research: Materials

Bright minds from departments across the University of Houston Cullen College of Engineering are behind research projects that could impact the way we live. Utilizing roughly $3.4 million in federal grants from the National Science Foundation’s Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Team Program, these researchers are joining efforts to engineer advanced materials at the atomic and molecular levels. These same materials may one day utilize our footsteps to power portable electronics, allow the mass production of nanotech devices or make possible new recording methods for improved data storage. These innovations could be reality in as little as five years thanks to teams of researchers from the University of Houston pooling their experimental and theoretical expertise to advance modern technology.
