Advanced Materials Science

The program aims to provide a fundamental knowledge base for talented engineers and scientists who want to continue research in the field of developing innovative materials. Students explore the modern scientific and applied research problems of materials science, learn the principles of materials design for different purposes, observe the theoretical (thermodynamic, kinetic, structural, etc.) and experimental methods and apply it to their on-going research projects.
