Keynote: Materials Science Research at Rice University, Dr. Enrique Barrera
The Rice University ASM/TMS Joint Student Chapter will be hosting a joint student chapter (Rice / University of Houston) meeting with the ASM Houston Chapter on the Rice University campus this April.
The Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS) Department is part of the George R. Brown School of Engineering. It is one of seven departments and is chaired by Dr. Enrique V. Barrera.
The MEMS department is involved in wide-ranging interdisciplinary work at the frontiers of science and knowledge. Collaboration with other departments, institutes, and colleges is commonplace. It’s not uncommon to find faculty working with NASA to develop the next generation of space vehicles or interacting with the Baylor College of Medicine to develop new, ground-breaking materials.
As new fields emerge, the MEMS faculty will be at the forefront pursuing research in robotics, neural networks, computational fluid mechanics, bioengineering, nanotechnology, and thin-film technology.
Meeting to be held in the Engineering Quad in front of the Mechanical Engineering Building.
