Materials Science and NanoEngineering

Hanyu Zhu

Associate Professor, Materials Science and NanoEngineering

William Marsh Rice Chair

MSNE Associate Chair of Undergraduate Studies

Martel College Advisor

Dr. Zhu and his Emerging Quantum and Ultrafast Activity Laboratory (EQUAL) engineer materials at the atomic level with light. He is interested in the interplay among the lattice structures, electrons and electromagnetic waves to create quantum behavior that typically only exist in extreme conditions with natural compounds. These artificial materials potentially serve in robust information technology and sensitive detectors beyond the classical limit.

MSNE 304

Materials Science Junior Lab

Through this course, you will be able to independently operate various types of common materials testing and metallography equipment. The labs provide a path of self-discovery about the depth of your knowledge and your intuitive insight into the quality of experimental data. You will learn, acquire and demonstrate Materials Laboratory fundamentals. Required for materials science and engineering majors. To obtain registration permission, please email your MSNE degree plan to the instructor at the beginning of the Fall Registration period. The lab time will be decided through voting by the end of the Fall registration period. Cross-list: MSNE 304. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for MSNE 304 if student has credit for MSNE 303.
