Research

Radiation Laboratory
Director Dr. Gunter Kegel

The UML Radiation Laboratory contains a 5.5-MV Van de Graaff accelerator with a Mobley bunching system for high-resolution neutron time-of-flight studies, a 1-MW research reactor, a 300-kilocurie Co-60 gamma-ray source, a fast-neutron irradiation source, and radiological health physics equipment.

Submillimeter-Wave Technology Lab
Director Dr. Robert Giles

The Submillimeter-Wave Technology Laboratory houses microwave through IR spectrometers for design and characterization of material dielectric properties, a CO2 and far-IR laser magnetospectroscopy facility, and sub-millimeter wave compact ranges for electromagnetic scattering studies.

Photonics Center
Director Dr. William Goodhue

The PhotonicsCenter's mission is to support regional industries and start-ups; train undergraduate and graduate students; perform industrial and governmental sponsored research; and form a core of design and fabrication technology to support various University initiatives requiring innovative semiconductor-based photonic and nanoelectronic device technologies.

Center for Advanced Materials
Director Dr. Jayant Kumar

The Center for Advanced Materials has electron and atomic force microscopes and a full range of optical, X-ray and ion spectrometers. Using MBE systems, the Photonics Center makes and characterizes photonics and optoelectronics devices for optical systems, communications and computing applications.

Heavy Ion Nuclear Spectroscopy (HI-SPIN) Program
Director Dr. Partha Chowdhury

The HI-SPIN program combines experiments at national heavy-ion accelerator facilities with sophisticated Unix/Linux based multi-parameter data acquisition and analysis stations on campus for nuclear structure studies via in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopic techniques.

Computational NanoMaterials Group
Dr. Young-Kyun Kwon

The Computational Nanomaterials Group investigate various properties of nanostructured materials and low-dimensional systems using mainly first-principles computational techniques. The Group possesses a 48-Opteron processor Linux cluster with an Infiniband switch and a 20-Intel IV processor Linux cluster with a Gigabit switch, and has accesses to supercomputers at National Supercomputer Centers.
