Princeton Center for Complex Materials @ Princeton University
The Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM) is dedicated to pushing the frontiers of complexity in materials science. PCCM brings together over thirty faculty from six departments in the natural sciences and engineering, through three Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs) and several seed projects at the research forefront of both "hard" and "soft" materials science and the interface between the two. PCCM has an active educational outreach program involving elementary, middle and high schools, as well as a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) programs.
