Materials Science and Engineering

The department of Materials Science and Engineering is nationally and internationally recognised for its leading research as well as for its collaborative research and innovation activities with industry partners. The foundation of the materials science discipline is the tetrahedron, which illustrates how a material's performance is influenced by the elements structures, properties and processes. Our research address and characterise the interactions between these elements.

Choosing KTH - Researcher perspective

Basant Roodhe, Postdoc

I chose KTH for its robust materials science foundation and rigorous physics-based approach. KTH:s integration of theory and experiment, along with advanced computing resources, provides an ideal environment to model and design functional materials for sensing and energy applications.

Laia Ortiz Membrado, Postdoc

KTH has a strong reputation in materials science with excellent experimental facilities. I was interested in experiencing a different research environment, and Stockholm offers a good balance between professional opportunities and quality of life.

Enrico Bergamaschi, PhD

I chose KTH to gain international experience and continue my research. With strong reputation and the well-equipped Hultgren Lab, as well as long tradition in materials science, KTH offers an excellent environment to develop my expertise.
