To understand, evaluate, and design materials often requires computational techniques at the forefront of multiscale materials simulation and design.
In this track, you will prepare for the simulation, design, and engineering of materials at scales ranging from Angstroms to meters. You will learn fundamentals of thermodynamics, transport, and quantum engineering. With these and training in applied mathematics and numerical methods, you’ll be prepared for multiscale material modeling, and both classical and quantum simulation.
In-depth electives allow you to specialize in biomaterials, polymer physics, quantum materials, scale-up, or experimental design. Other electives allow for the study of data analytics, machine learning, deep learning, optimization, or visualization.
This track suits candidates interested in: a career or advanced studies in molecular engineering, materials science, chemical engineering, applied physics, polymer science, and allied fields.
