PENN-UPRH Partnership for research

and education in materials

Facilities

With PREM support, UPRH has improved the infrastructure for Materials Research and Education with the adquision of new instrumentation. Facilities enhanced with PREM support include three laboratories for materials preparation and characterization (625 square feet each), a computational mathematics research laboratory (450 square feet) and a Videoconference Room (450 square feet). Facilities are shared with the rest of UPRH community, other universities and industry. Research laboratories are also used for teaching and for outreach activities.
