Research, service and scholarly activities associated with advanced, nano-
and structural materials.  Representative foci include advanced materials —
such as applied electromagnetics, high-temperature superconducting materials
and devices, semiconductors, and advanced oxide films; nano-materials —
such as nano-thin films, nano-mechanics, nano-magnetic materials and nano-system
manufacturing; and structural materials — such as ceramics, composites, well logging,
roads and subsurface sensing.
