The Materials Science and Engineering Program supports undergraduate and graduate student state-of-the-art research projects. Our research focuses on quantum materials, spintronics, photovoltaics, photonics, and biomaterials—with projects spanning experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches. The research knowledge is used to develop new energy-efficient electronics, photovoltaic devices, and energy storage technologies that benefit the planet. Your contribution will be used to support student stipends and research project costs such as materials and supplies, travel to conferences, and hosting external speakers for our seminars.
Higher education is the single most important influence on a person’s socioeconomic mobility. UC Santa Cruz takes a holistic approach to student success—fostering an environment that nurtures health and well-being, social capital, and academic achievement. The MSE program provides a launching pad for tomorrow’s innovators, risk-takers, and leaders. Learn more at https://materials.ucsc.edu/.
