RSA CE&C 2015-2021 Group descriptions

Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry (MSMC) 65 groups and the computer simulation/numerical modeling groups of dynamic properties in physics and mechanical engineering. To remain competitive, it is essential for the PCgroup to keep on investing in advanced scattering techniques (light and X-rays), electron microscopy, surface characterization techniques, chromatography techniques, and thermal and mechanical analyses.
