Materials Research Society Notre Dame Chapter

The goal of the Materials Research Society (MRS) University of Notre Dame Chapter is to introduce students to the discipline of materials science and foster connections between materials science students, faculty, and industry. These connections are realized with tours, seminars, panels, symposiums, and social outings for students interested in materials science.

Joining the MRS Notre Dame Chapter

The Notre Dame Chapter is open to any Notre Dame graduate student or postdoc with an interest in materials research. Chapter members do not have to be a student in Notre Dame's interdisciplinary MSE PhD program nor a student member of the Materials Research Society.
