Nanotechnology Research - Universities

Participation in the Nanotechnology Graduate Program leads to Masters of Science, Masters of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy in the respective disciplines with a designated nanotechnology concentration. To qualify for the nanotechnology concentration, in addition to satisfying disciplinary core requirements, candidates for Masters' degrees must complete the common core and a minimum of three elective courses and should attend regularly the seminar series in the Nanotechnology Curriculum.

The group is exploring nanoelectroics and nanomechatronics research areas based on low dimensional materials, including carbon nanotube, graphene and conjugated polymers.

The group is interested in studying the behavior of advanced material systems at the nanoscale. Particular material systems of interest include polymers and polymer nanocomposites, as well as thin film and piezoelectric materials of interest in MEMS applications.

The Nature Inspired Surface Engineering Laboratory is a Stevens research group in micro/nano/energy/thermal engineering with interests that include micro/nanofluidics, nanofabrication, surface engineering, and bioinspired functional surfaces.

The Zhang Group focuses on mesoscopic thermal, electrical, and thermoelectric properties of low-dimensional materials, using synthesis and fabrication techniques to create functional nanostructures, characterization methods to study physical phenomena, and machine learning to model structure-property relationships.

The Engineered Metallic Nanostructures Laboratory studies the design, synthesis, stability, and mechanical behavior of metallic nanostructures, including nanocrystalline alloys, crystalline-amorphous nanolaminates, and metallic glass matrix composites.

The Garcia Center for Polymers at Engineered Interfaces conducts research on polymer nanomaterials and nanoscale interfaces, including nanofibers, biodegradable polymers, and engineered surfaces.

The group's research spans diverse fields, including materials science, chemistry, stem cells biology and additive biomanufacturing. Specifically, the lab is developing biomimetic nanomaterials with native interface tissue-like gradient in physical and chemical properties, integrating advanced micro- and nano- fabrication technologies to mimic native interface tissue architecture and directing stem cell behavior to obtain regionalized tissue constructs in vitro and in vivo.

The PNC Lab is the research group of Professor Jaime Grunlan and is interested in nanostructure and microstructure of particle-polymer systems.
