Poeppelmeier: MRSEC: Center for Multifunctional Materials

The mission of the Northwestern University Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (NU-MRSEC) is to advance world-class materials research, education, and outreach via interdisciplinary collaborations within the center and with external partners in academia, industry, national laboratories, and museums, both domestically and abroad. This mission will be realized by 2 interrelated interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs), an active seed funding program that facilitates dynamic evolution of research foci, and commercialization, shared facilities, education, and outreach programs that bring NU-MRSEC research to the marketplace, general public, and students at all levels in a manner that promotes cultural, gender, racial, and ethnic diversity.
