Our research facilities and equipment
In our lab, we utilize different equipment, devices and setups for characterization and analysis of our experimental and numerical works. In addition to the utilities in our lab, we have access to the advanced equipment at the Center for Materials and Sensors Characterization (CMSC) including microscopy, thermal analysis, spectroscopy, such as SEM, TEM, TGA, XRD, Raman Spectrometer, Gamry instruments, Contact Angle Measurement, and many other tools.
