CROSS-DISCIPLINARY INITIATIVE ON ADVANCED MATERIALS AT IISc
Multi-disciplinary programmes spanning newly emerging fields that are interdisciplinary among Materials, Chemistry, Engineering, Biology and Physics
OUR VISION OF THE ROLE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF METALLURGY
To take the lead in identifying materials systems for the future(processing, properties, technology development)
To develop State-of-the-Art characterisation facilities(Microstructural, mechanical, thermal, analytical)
To develop new methods for computer modelling of complex behaviour
To train post-graduates who can initiate materials activities at thecutting edge in industries and research laboratories
