“The gift allows us to continue the evolution of our school's academic programs in these cutting-edge areas of science and technology. It is my opinion that no other university has the extensive history and the future potential in the area of fibers. We combine talent in optical materials and textiles in the work in our centers: the Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technology (COMSET) and Clemson Apparel Research. It is an exciting time to be part of materials science at Clemson.”
The School of Materials Science and Engineering has 19 faculty members, 105 undergraduates and 68 graduate students. Current research focuses on ceramics, polymers, photonics, medical textiles, biomaterials, fiber science and metallurgy.
