The School's capacity to grow as a leading materials science and engineering institution, pursue pioneering lines of inquiry and tackle interesting scientific problems begins with its world-class faculty. The scholarly community at MSE boasts high-quality faculty members with exemplary publication records and the ability to attain competitive research grants to focus on key research areas that align with the University and nation’s research agendas. Our faculty's research expertise is broad and covers various areas of the materials science discipline, bringing diverse voices and fresh viewpoints together to enhance the disciplinary breadth and intellectual depth of the School's teaching and research domains. 

 

Other schools' faculty, whose research areas complement MSE, are engaged in novel interdisciplinary areas of work through joint/courtesy appointments with MSE as the minority unit. Such joint/courtesy appointments create the opportunity for faculty to engage in research that draws multiple fields of inquiry and pursue multidisciplinary research to respond to the nation's research priorities and the dynamic changes within the academic and scientific landscape. 

 

MSE appoints prolific scientists/researchers/clinicians who hold leadership positions in industry corporations and research institutes as Adjunct faculty members. They play a key role in stimulating quality materials science research activities and synergising the intellectual pursuits of MSE with the industry.
