Innovative Materials
The Graduate School of Innovative Materials aims to train students in the fields of soft condensed matter and materials science. This training allows students to image and explore new ways of designing new materials and understanding complex systems to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Presentation
To order to meet future challenges in the fields of health and preservation of the planet, there is a growing need of research and training regarding innovative materials and complex systems to understanding future societal issues.
With this in mind, the Graduate School of Innovative Materials encourages students’ interest in the design of new materials. So that they can apprehend and understand the design of complex systems emerging from the current challenges of society. With a broad field of research on application (bioengineering, catalysis, optical devices, telecommunications, medicine, energy, information storage and reading), Innovative Materials aims to train experts able to study the fundamental properties of these new materials interacting with their surrounding environment.
All these subjects benefit from new developments in modelling and simulation, as well as from the breakthrough of artificial intelligence in all fields of science. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the aim of the Graduate School of Innovative Materials is to train experts with a broad scientific background, fostering interactions between different disciplines: notably physics, chemistry, biology, geophysics and medicine, in order to make dramatic progress in understanding and meeting future needs.
