Research and taught programs covering the fundamentals of Materials Science & Engineering and the application of materials in important areas of technology. These include energy storage, renewable energy, biomedical diagnostics and therapeutics, nanotechnology, plasmonics, glass and structural ceramics, polymer recycling and sustainable materials.
Providing students who are interested in pursuing public or private professional careers that require a proper mix of theory and applied training and skills to solve real life engineering problems. Emphasis on applied problem solving skills, the use of technology for engineering applications.
We also offer an M.E. (Master of Engineering) degree.
Climate change. Renewable energy. Smart grids. Clean vehicles. Long-lasting batteries. By incorporating theory and applied engineering training this collaborative program is resourced through six School of Engineering departments and the Graduate School-New Brunswick, along with the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and the Rutgers Business School. Students are trained to solve real-life engineering problems in energy-related fields.
The Ph.D. curriculum balances directed research with coursework to prepare our graduates for careers in industry and academia whereas the M.S. program is designed to serve the needs of industrial chemists seeking to broaden and enrich their knowledge base.

The graduate program is designed to give students a broad understanding of classical and modern physics, with intensive training in one of the frontier areas of modern research. A thesis of original research is required for Ph.D. students, to give the students experience in advancing themselves to the leading edge of an important area of physics. Students are encouraged to study several sub-disciplines of physics so that they will be prepared to apply their fundamental knowledge beyond the field of their thesis work.
