Division of Materials Science
At the division we conduct education and research in physics and various disciplines within material development.
Head of division is Magnus Gustafsson
Education
We offer introductory and advanced courses in physics for students in the masters and bachelors programs in engineering, as well as education students. We also offer courses in materials science, mainly for the students in Materials Science & Engineering (EEIGM).
Research
The research at the division is conducted in close collaboration with industry and state/government institutions, often in collaboration with colleagues at other universities and research institutes, within the country and outside. We participate in the university efforts Creaternity and CH2ESS. Central is development of materials (e.g. metals, ceramics, composites, bionano- and multiscale materials), mainly experimental, but also through computer-based calculations and simulations. Some research in fundamental physics is also conducted.
The division consists of five research subjects
