The MIAM Student Committee is pleased to announced that it is organizing a series of lab tours for 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ students and faculty. The goals are to introduce curious 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ undergraduates to materials science and engineering so that more choose related topics in their undergraduate research or graduate studies; and to help graduate students and faculty members better understand the work being done in labs across campus.

Biointerface Laboratory (Marta Cerruti): At the Biointerface Lab we strive to understand and control phenomena occurring at the interface between synthetic materials and biological molecules. We have three main areas of focus: biomineralization, i.e. the formation of minerals in living organisms, both physiological and pathological, implant-tissue integration, and drug delivery. An emerging aspect of our research is the exploration of the intersection between science and art. .

91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Electron Microscopy Research Group (MEMRG) (Raynald Gauvin): Our research group works to develop new methods to characterize the microstructure of materials at the nanometer resolution with state of the art electron microscopes. The chemical composition, the crystalline structure and the morphology are characterized an the nanoscale with innovative computer programs that process electron microscope data into quantitative information. The Monte Carlo simulation programs of electron trajectories that we have developed in the last 2 decades are world famous in this regard. Our quantitative electron microscopy applies to advanced metallic alloys, ceramics, polymers, nanomaterials, minerals, bio materials, cells and any other materials. .
