Advanced Materials LabAdvanced Materials Lab

Location: 2170 Gleason
Phone: 585-475-5604
Facilitator: Surendra Gupta

Description/Projects:
The lab houses equipment for advanced characterization and preparation of engineered materials as well as space for meeting and learning. Students learn hands-on material characterization techniques of x-ray diffraction, scanning probe microscopy, optical microscopy, and specimen preparation techniques. Lab equipment includes a weighing balance, high speed mixer-mill, low-speed precision saw, and semi-automatic pellet press which are used to prepare materials other equipment such as scanning probe microscopy, x-ray diffraction, quantitative microscopy, digital imaging, and hardness testing mechanical polishing equipment is used for the characterization of the materials.

People involved:
Professor Gupta is in charge of the Advanced Materials Lab. Graduate students and faculty from many departments use the lab for their projects.

Other departments/agencies:
The lab serves students and faculty from the departments of mechanical engineering, microelectronic engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science, and printing as well as the area industry.
