Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science

The University of Rochester’s Materials Science Program is a highly interdisciplinary network of faculty across the School of Arts and Sciences, the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, School of Medicine and Dentistry, and Laboratory for Laser Energetics.
Our program’s roots date back to 1966, when it was established by Professor Ken Teegarden. Since then, the Materials Science Program has grown to include more than 60 affiliated faculty, with an average of 16 new master’s and PhD students enrolling annually.
Materials research at the University of Rochester involves high impact, complex materials challenges, ranging from chemical synthesis and novel processing approaches, to specialized characterization tools and innovative applications.
The Materials Science Program at the University of Rochester allows graduate students to align their studies and research with the department closest to their interest in the field of materials science. Application decisions are made by the materials science graduate admission committee. The materials science MS and PhD degrees are approved by materials science faculty.
The University’s faculty in materials science act as an advisory body for students interested in research in this field, and for graduate students interested in materials science degrees, graduate courses, interdepartmental research efforts, or joint use of the many specialized materials laboratory facilities. A regular series of interdepartmental seminars brings together University of Rochester students and faculty from across the spectrum of materials science. In addition, the University’s Chapter of the Materials Research Society sponsors an annual symposium and other events.
Material advances today are the basis for most technological changes. Materials science encompasses a variety of research activities in which advanced materials are tailored for specific uses. The structure of materials and its relation to macroscopically observed properties forms a central research focal point.
