Materials Research Science and Engineering Center

纽约州立大学石溪分校的材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）名为“MRSEC-热喷涂的新型材料、工艺和功能材料”，是纽约州立大学石溪分校、加州大学圣巴巴拉分校、麻省理工学院、爱达荷州国家工程实验室、桑迪亚国家实验室、NIST和布鲁克海文国家实验室的合作项目。该中心的目标是发展复杂的热喷涂技术的科学基础，并创建一个强大的和可预测的材料沉积工具。该中心的研究被组织成一个跨学科研究小组（IRG）。该小组的一项主要倡议是开发理论和实验工具，用于加工和表征具有耦合机械/电气和机械/磁性质的功能沉积物。该中心支持维护良好的共享实验设施，也支持与工业和其他部门的互动努力。该中心拥有强大的工业外展计划，在MRSEC和工业部门之间建立互利关系。该项目还为学生提供了参与实习项目的机会，并特别针对鼓励少数民族学生进入该领域。与国家实验室的合作是广泛的，涉及大量的教师和学生。中心现有高级研究员17人，博士后3人，研究生6人，本科生8人，辅助人员1人。赫伯特·赫尔曼教授负责MRSEC。

The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the State University of New York Stony Brook entitled "MRSEC-Novel Materials, Processes and Functional Materials by Thermal Spray" is a collaboration between SUNY Stony Brook, UC Santa Barbara, MIT, Idaho National Engineering Lab, Sandia National Lab, NIST, and Brookhaven National Lab. The goal of the Center is develop the scientific base for the complex technique of thermal spray and to create a robust and predictive materials deposition tool. The Center's research is organized into one interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG). A major initiative of the group is to develop theoretical and experimental tools for processing and characterization of functional deposits with coupled mechanical/electrical and mechanical/magnetic properties. The Center supports well maintained shared experimental facilities and also supports interactive efforts with industry and other sectors. The Center has a strong industrial outreach program, which creates mutually beneficial relationships between the MRSEC and the industrial sector. The program also provides opportunities for students to be involved in internship programs and is especially targeted to encourage minority students to enter the field. The collaborations with National Labs are extensive and involve a significant number of faculty members and students. Participants in the Center currently include 17 senior investigators, 3 postdoctoral associates, 6 graduate students, 8 undergraduate students and 1 support person. Professor Herbert Herman directs the MRSEC.
