Abstract
The Georgia Tech Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) was established by
NSF in September 2008. This Center is funded for 6 years and is a cross-disciplinary effort involving
GT as well as The University of California Berkeley, The University of California Riverside, Alabama
A&M, and The University of Michigan. Initially, the Center focus is on graphene, a material with the
requisite properties and potential to serve as the successor to silicon in ICs, sensors, and MEMS
devices. Although research is a major effort of Center activity, substantial efforts are in place for
education and outreach. This presentation will describe the organization of the GT MRSEC, the
breadth of research that has been undertaken, the educational activities underway and planned,
including a Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) with The Atlanta University
Center (Clark Atlanta, Morehouse and Spelman Universities), and the outreach programs. Future
plans and goals will be described.
