MSE News and Events
Prof. Jian Shi has won the prestigious 2023 IEEE Ferroelectrics Young Investigator Award “for his exciting out-of-box work on ferroelectrics and new way exploration of old materials." This highly-competitive award recognizes only one or two exceptional scientists under the age of 40 in the relevant field each year.
Dr. Hull has been appointed as Vice President for Research after serving as Acting Vice President for Research since March 2020. He also continues to serve as director of the Rensselaer Center for Materials, Devices, and Integrated Systems (cMDIS).
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or tenured Associate Professor position in Materials Science and Engineering with expertise and potential in the broad area of bulk/thin film metallic materials.
Rensselaer researchers show that a ferroelectric van der Waals layered perovskite exhibits unique internal magnetic field profiles to enable fast and efficient spintronic devices at room temperature, in a work published in Nature Photonics.
Prof. Tomozawa receives the 2022 N.F. Mott Award from the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids (JNCS), which distinguishes senior scientists based on their continuing relevant contributions to the science of non-crystalline solids over many years.
