Materials & Physics Research Centre

Members of this large and prestigious Research Centre are drawn from applied, computational and theoretical areas of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. Approaching 50 staff from the Materials & Physics Research Centre were submitted in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), as members of Salford University's (now-restructured) Institute for Materials Research.

Activities are organised through collaborating multi-disciplinary groups of Materials & Physics research:

• Materials & Physics Research Topics
• Staff Members
• Student Members
• Support Staff
• Research Facilities
• Enterprise & Impact
• Postgraduate Degrees
• Postgraduate Profiles
• Materials & Physics Outreach
• Location & Travel

In the 2008 RAE, 85% of our work at Salford University was judged to be 'internationally recognised' research (2* and above), of which 50% was judged to be 'world-leading' research (4*) or 'internationally excellent' research (3*). Research Fortnight ranked our members' materials research activity as 8th overall in the UK.

The formation of the Materials & Physics Research Centre constituted an Integration of Materials Research expertise at Salford University - bringing together around 100 researchers.
