The Materials Physics and Engineering (MPE) cluster is a group of dynamic and resourceful researchers that utilizes experimental and / or computational techniques in designing and fabricating materials. From these fabricated materials, our cluster intends to collaborate with different stakeholders to develop products / technologies that can be beneficial to our society.
The Surface and Interface Research Group (SIRG) is group of researchers who are engaged in tailoring the surfaces and / or the interfaces of various materials to do specific functions.
In 2018, SIRG was recognized as the CAS Outstanding Research Team and the groups’ head, Dr. Marvin U. Herrera, the CAS Outstanding Researchers (Senior Faculty Category).
