Materials Research Science and Engineering Center: The Mesoscale Interface Mapping Project

卡内基梅隆大学材料研究科学与工程中心(MRSEC)支持一项关于多晶体中晶界网络的跨学科研究计划，该计划被称为中尺度界面映射计划。该小组的研究旨在通过开发和应用实验和分析技术，包括自动定向成像显微镜，来确定金属和陶瓷中晶界的结构、演化和性质，从而促进对晶界系统的理解。该中心还为新出现的研究机会提供种子支持。该中心支持维护良好的共享实验设施，这些设施为大宗材料和表面的制备和表征提供专门的仪器。教育和人力资源开发工作包括与匹兹堡地区高中的课程开发合作，以及将研究和教育与佛罗里达农工大学整合的合作项目，其中包括本科课程开发和联合研究项目。该中心还与工业和政府实验室以及美国和国外的其他大学进行了广泛的研究合作。目前，该中心的参与者包括10名高级研究员、1名博士后助理、10名研究生、5名本科生和2名技术人员和其他支持人员。格雷戈里·罗勒教授是MRSEC的负责人。

0079996RohrerThe Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Carnegie Mellon University supports an interdisciplinary research program on grain boundary networks in polycrystals, called The Mesoscale Interface Mapping Project. The group research seeks to advance the understanding of grain boundary systems by developing and applying experimental and analytical techniques, including automated orientation imaging microscopy, to determine the structure, evolution and properties of grain boundaries in metals and ceramics. The Center also provides seed support for emerging research opportunities.The Center supports well maintained shared experimental facilities that provide specialized instrumentation for the preparation and characterization of bulk materials and surfaces. Education and human resources development efforts include curriculum development collaborations with Pittsburgh area high schools, and a Collaborative to Integrate Research and Education with Florida A&M University that includes undergraduate curriculum development and joint research projects. The Center also has extensive research collaborations with industrial and government laboratories, and with other universities in the U.S. and abroad.Participants in the Center currently include 10 senior investigators, 1 postdoctoral associates, 10 graduate students, 5 undergraduates and 2 technicians and other support personnel. Professor Gregory Rohrer directs the MRSEC.
