This spring, the Materials Research and Education Consortium (MRE-C), based at the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa, hosted their research and education collaborative partners from the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at the University of Washington (UW). The consortium engages in interdisciplinary research that fosters key breakthroughs in materials research and education important for sustainability on remote island communities.
“We are committed to continuing to grow materials science research and education offerings to all students at UH through this unique partnership with UW,” said Godwin Severa, the project principal investigator and a researcher in the Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology at the UH Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology.
