Congratulations to Professor Lu's graduate student Yaneth Hernandez! Yaneth is graduating with her Master of Science in Material Sciences & Engineering and will be moving to New York to work as a Corrosion Scientist for PLUG Power. We will miss you, and good luck with the next steps in your career!
Our research, undergraduate, and graduate training and educational outreach programs are carefully designed to mirror NASA MIRO objectives. Our goals include:
Enhancing the scientific environment at UC Merced by recruiting and retaining high-caliber faculty and promising graduate students, as well as building facilities for materials science research facilities.
Impacting education at UC Merced and beyond by inspiring and training a new generation of STEM workers in a multidisciplinary materials research environment—particularly underrepresented and underprivileged students.
Driving research at UC Merced by promoting innovative and collaborative research in functional nanomaterials for energy and sensing for NASA missions and for needs here on Earth.
