Research Centers

The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering collaborates closely with the following world class research centers.

The Advanced Materials Laboratory

1001 University Blvd., SE
Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106
Phone: 505 272.7600
FAX: 505 272.7304

The AML houses staff from the university, Sandia and private companies in a single, integrated research laboratory in the UNM Science and Technology Park. The 45,000-square-foot facility fosters collaboration among Sandia, UNM and other companies in materials research, development and application, and provides a conduit for tech-transfer from the labs and university to private companies for commercialization.

DR. FERNANDO GARZON, DIRECTOR

The UNM Center for Micro-Engineered Materials (UNM CMEM) serves as a focal point for materials science research and education at UNM. The research performed by the UNM CMEM faculty is highly leveraged because of close collaboration with research scientists from Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the Sandia Center for Integrated Nanotechnology (CINT). The mission of UNM CMEM is to provide a focal point for materials science research and education at UNM. We work to develop new interdisciplinary technologies that make the United States more competitive in ceramic science and engineering nanoscience. Our goal is to transfer these technologies to industry in order to foster the development of competitive reproducible ceramic, polymer/ceramic composite and nano materials for advanced high performance systems.
