Overview
The Materials for Low-Carbon Energy (MatEBaC) program trains executives and engineers to design, develop, characterize, and optimize materials and devices for low-carbon energy sectors. The master’s program is based on research-oriented education and draws on a world-class scientific environment that brings together four major institutes—ICGM, IEM, ICSM, and IES—which are deeply involved in regional Key Challenges (photovoltaics—PV-Star; hydrogen—RHYO).
The program offers a multidisciplinary approach covering:
• the design and synthesis of materials;
• the study of their mechanical, thermal, optical, and electrical properties;
• the manufacture of components and devices;
• life cycle analysis, recycling, and sustainability.
