Advanced Materials Research investigates innovative processing, characterization, and design methods for construction materials used to develop, maintain, monitor, and energize our infrastructure. The focus includes polymer systems, composite materials, cement-based substances, concrete, and asphalt formulations.
The department provides two engineering doctoral programs: the Doctor of Engineering Science degree, overseen by The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Doctor of Philosophy degree, managed by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. While the EngScD and PhD programs share identical academic standards for coursework, thesis, and examinations, they vary in residency specifications and some administrative aspects.
