College of Engineering University of Wisconsin - Madison
Goals
To solve challenging scientific and engineering problems through experimental and theoretical research on rheology.
To prepare graduate and post-doctoral for leadership
in polymer engineering and science for both industry and academia.
To collaborate closely with industrial rheologists to identify and solve relevant problems, and to put these solutions into engineering practice.
To develop more complete and accurate molecular models for rheological behavior.
To offer graduate and post-doctoral students a broader training in experimental and theoretical methods than they could receive in any one university department.
To ensure close cooperation between faculty members having rheological interests, and to promote the fullest utilization of research facilities and lecture courses in rheological subjects available on Madison's campus.
To develop improved teaching materials and to prepare summaries giving the current state of the art in various specialized research areas of rheology.
To promote research in rheology and to seek scientific generalizations by developing theories and amassing reliable experimental data on a variety of properties.
To offer services and consultation facilities for interested students and faculty at UW-Madison.
To promote discussions, interchange of rheological information, and research relationships between university and industry.
