Northwestern MRSEC provides the physical and intellectual
infrastructure to nucleate collaborative opportunities in materials
research both on and off the Northwestern campus, and continues
to leverage its diverse portfolio of research into new educational
and commercial opportunities. Recent examples include:
Funded by Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Center was
established in 2013 and serves as a new model of collaborative
scientific research in the arts, providing expanded access to
scientific expertise in a centralized and highly specialized facility
devoted to the pursuit of art-historical and conservation questions
of great value to conservation science and academic communities.
Funded by NIST, the Center was established in 2014 and is a key
component of the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI). The center is
an outgrowth of the ongoing partnerships between Northwestern,
Argonne National Lab and University of Chicago, and has the main
goal of developing the next generation of computational tools,
databases and experimental techniques to enable the design of
novel materials.
