New Facility Enhances Research Opportunities Across Campus
Knowing that the smallest things can sometimes cause the biggest problems, UT has created a facility to remedy that dilemma for researchers.
The newly established Micro-Processing Research Facility (MPRF) will allow researchers to conduct research and development requiring thin film processing technology at the micron level without having to leave the campus.
While the facility itself is part of the Joint Institute for Advanced Materials (JIAM) and is housed in JIAM’s location just across the river from the main campus, the broadened research capabilities it provides expand the depth and breadth of what can be studied at UT, according to facility director Eric Lukosi.
