Trent Centre for Materials Research

The Trent Centre for Materials Research fosters research at Trent leading to an improved understanding of the properties of materials of potential benefit to industry, and the training of highly qualified personnel in these areas. To do this, the Centre brings together Trent faculty with research interests in applied and fundamental materials research in the departments of Chemistry and Physics.

TCMR’s focus is to improve communications and cross-fertilization of research among the faculty and their graduate students, develop research collaborations, and expose all of the participants to a broad spectrum of research, both experimental and theoretical, in the materials area. The Centre holds research seminars in conjunction with the Physics/Chemistry seminar series and the Materials Science graduate program.
