Materials Working Group

The purpose of the Materials Working Group is to bring together all research activities at Mississippi State University related to materials research. Since many departments, colleges and institutes are conducting materials research, this group facilitates the transfer of new ideas and permits the maximum utilization of shared resources. This home page serves the important function of helping interested parties in materials related research activities locate expertise at MSU via links to both researcher and research group home pages. In addition, a link indicating some of the capital equipment located on-campus to support these research activities is provided.

Any MSU affiliated researcher interested in this working group may participate. Members are notified of monthly meeting times and locations through the working group mailing list. Please contact Rooban Venkatesh K.G. Thirumalai if you want to be added to the mailing list, or if you have any questions about items on this webpage.
