Research Interests

Gangopadhyay, an acclaimed researcher in the fields of material science and physics, heads the group. The group has set up a high class research facility — the first of its kind in Missouri — with plans to upgrade and expand the facilities over the next two years.

Research Description

The Gangopadhyay Research Group is an electrical engineering and materials science research facility at the University of Missouri Columbia's College of Engineering and is associated with the International Center for Nano/Micro Systems and Nanotechnology. It is dedicated to expanding the realm of science and technology through optimization of existing techniques and exploration of new dimensions of knowledge. The group's research includes discovering, integrating, and optimizing new materials, processing methods, and characterization techniques. By promoting an interdisciplinary approach, our unique and modern research facility was designed to train, educate and prepare students to join and lead the workforce in innovative solutions to scientific challenges.
