INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH PROGRAM

Funded by the National Science Foundation, the International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program MSE offers research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in the expanding field of self-healing materials. Annually six students will spend ten weeks at the Delft University of Technology (TU-Delft) in the Netherlands performing collaborative experimental and computational research on self-healing metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite materials. The overall goal of the program is to provide students with a global research experience and awareness of how new generations of ‘smart’ materials may lead to technological advances and impact the environment as well as societal needs.
