Join the M3 Lab.

The lab welcomes prospective graduate, undergraduate, visiting, and collaborator inquiries that connect clearly to M3 Lab research.

Graduate Researchers

Best fit for graduate students interested in grain-boundary engineering, field-assisted processing, computational materials science, microscopy-informed modeling, characterization, instrumentation, or data-driven materials workflows. Prospective Ph.D. students may apply through SDSU joint doctoral programs.
