The Department has state of the art fabrication and characterization facilities for wide range of research areas related to materials science and engineering. The faculty members of the Department carry out both fundamental and applied research under the three major targeted areas, namely, Functional materials, Structural materials and Computational materials. For (1) Functional materials, key elements include nanomaterials, organic light-emitting diode materials, photovoltaic materials, energy storage related materials, sensing and detection, as well as photonics and optoelectronics materials. For (2) Structural materials section encompasses phase transformations, SMT solder joints, creep and life assessment, in-service behaviour of materials, stress analysis, structural materials design, surface science and engineering, thin films and coatings, metals and alloys, plastics and composites, shape memory alloys, and electrical ceramics. For (3) Computational materials include density functional theory calculation, molecular dynamics simulation, phase field modelling and multiscale modeling of mechanics of materials. In addition, members of the Department have collaborations around the world and are well-recognized in their research expertise. The ultimate goal of the department is to prepare graduates with professional knowledge, exploring spirit and leadership skills for the future world.
