The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research’s Partnership for Research in Education and Materials (PREM) program allows the expansion between Hampton University-based materials science researchers and colleagues at the Brandeis University Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC).

The six-year award will support collaborative research, education, training, and outreach activities of the Hampton University faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, undergraduate students, and high school students from Governors’ School for Science and Technology (GSST).

Each research project is jointly directed by a Hampton faculty, who serves as the intellectual lead, and a Brandeis MRSEC faculty who provides access to specialize resources/facilities and contributes to the research design, implementation, and outcomes of the project.

The Hampton-Brandeis PREM is under the direction of Hampton University’s Dr. Demetris Geddis and Brandeis University’s Dr. Seth Fraden
