Institute for Integrated Research in Materials, Environments and Society

Meeting the Increasing Demands in Modern Scientific Work

IIRMES serves research collaborations between faculty and students from disciplines in physical, natural, and social sciences. IIRMES maintains an inventory of capital equipment that permits multi-scalar chemical analyses for elemental, isotopic, and molecular characterization. This centralization of the instrumentation enhances their effective utilization, scheduling, and maintenance in a focused environment that actively encourages shared use to beneficially increase peer exchange, collegial interaction, and collaborative ventures in cross-disciplinary research, training, and teaching.
