Characterization@UBC

Developing advanced materials is essential to enable future technological changes across many sectors: electronics, bio-technologies, and health. To achieve this, it is critical to characterize how the structure and chemistry of materials influence functional properties and performance. This cluster draws expertise from across distinct fields in UBC, with a shared mission of advancing and deploying materials characterization. Members of the cluster lead state-of-the-art instrument facilities, develop characterization techniques, and collaborate to deliver quantitative insights into materials processing and performance. By linking expertise and building community in the field of materials characterization, UBC is positioned to discover the materials of tomorrow.
