We are a community dedicated in motivating students into pursuing careers in STEM. We have many undergraduate and graduate students working with PI’s from our team. Our goal is to grow our community by exposing students to the different disciplines in the STEM field.


Wisconsin - Puerto Rico Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials
This proposal partners the universities of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez (UPRM) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) to create richer educational and research opportunities for Hispanic students in Materials Science and Engineering and, thereby, increase their representation in the Materials community.
This is a University of Puerto Rico Project, Award #1827894
Who We Are
This proposal brings together 26 researchers in the areas of soft materials, catalysis and adsorption, crystallization and pharmaceuticals. We have divided the approaches into three interdisciplinary research teams that will address fundamental problems in these materials, and we also have a group focused on education.
