Multiscale Science and Engineering Center

Multiscale science and engineering has hit a wall. Rensselaer has the resources to break through it. That has led to the creation of the Institute's newest center. Nearly 60 Rensselaer faculty have expressed their eagerness to participate in the Multiscale Science and Engineering Center (MSEC), which opened October 31, 2006. They bring with them a vast array of specialties - from multiscale mathematics to nanocomposites to flow control for aircraft and earthquake engineering - all of which could benefit profoundly from advances in the field.
