Applied Physics and Materials Engineering is perceived as one of the most important areas affecting mankind in the 21st Century. Applied Physics and Materials Engineering focuses on understanding the basic science of the materials and their applications ranging from nanomechanics, to photonics and optoelectronics, to energy storage technologies, to quantum information and computing.
Pearl River Delta is well-recognized to be one of the manufacturing centers of the world for a very diversified range of products. As the new developing city in this region, it is imperative that Macau plays the leading role in research as well as personnel training for the coming wave of technology revolution.
The Ph.D. programme in Applied Physics and Materials Engineering integrates different disciplines in both science and engineering. As University of Macau (UM) is carrying out cutting edge research in applied physics and materials engineering, energy technology, and quantum computing, an internationally competitive postgraduate program can give strong long-term support to our ongoing research as well as, indirectly, the technology development and commercialization efforts.
The Applied Physics and Materials Engineering Postgraduate Program, defined on the basis of the three above elements, aims to educate students with the necessary interdisciplinary knowledge to contribute to the long-term materials research and technology development, which will lead to potential breakthroughs in areas such as novel materials and manufacturing technology.
