A Materials Research Science and Engineering Center: Sensor Materials For Control and Diagnostics

密歇根州立大学材料研究科学与工程中心(MRSEC)专注于用于控制和诊断的传感材料。该中心还为传感器材料领域的新机会提供种子资金。该中心支持教育推广工作，包括为本科生提供研究经验，并通过为初中理科教师举办的实践讲习班扩展到大学预科水平。MRSEC还支持中心参与者和外部用户可以访问的共享实验设施，以及广泛的工业推广工作。该MRSEC的研究被组织为两个跨学科研究小组。其中一组强调对发动机诊断和传感至关重要的过程的光学探头。第二个小组探索将化学和物理信息转化为电信号的各种转导方法。该中心目前的参与者包括21名高级调查人员、3名博士后助理、11名研究生、8名本科生和1名行政支助人员。布拉格·戈尔丁教授是MRSEC的负责人。

The Center also provides seed funding for new opportunities in sensor materials. The Center supports education outreach efforts that include research experiences for undergraduates and outreach to the pre-college level through hands-on workshops for junior high school science teachers. The MRSEC also supports shared experimental facilities that are accessible to center participants and to outside users, and broad industrial outreach efforts.Research in this MRSEC is organized into two interdisciplinary research groups. One group emphasizes optical probes of processes critical to engine diagnostics and sensing. A second group explores various transduction methods for transforming chemical and physical information into electrical signals. Participants in the Center currently include 21 senior investigators, 3 postdoctoral associates, 11 graduate students, 8 undergraduates, and one administrative support personnel. Professor Brage Golding directs the MRSEC.
