Why the CMR Matters
Our mission is built on three pillars:
Research Excellence
Utilize a comprehensive suite of instrumentation that enables analysis of thermal behavior, mechanical performance, and structural and chemical composition of materials across length scales, advancing fundamental knowledge in the aerospace, energy, and health sectors.
Extramural Partnership
Serve as a vital resource for external partners (academia, industry and community), through shared use of laboratories, contract research, and strategic collaborations that connect industry expertise with academic research capacity.
Transformative Education
Provide Gonzaga students with transformative, problem-based, hands-on learning opportunities (with state-of-the-art tools and techniques) that uniquely position them to make high impact contributions to the STEM workforce and their communities.
