   Materials Processing Center


An interdisciplinary center within MIT's School of Engineering, the Materials Processing Center (MPC) advances materials research by building a community of researchers from MIT, industry, and government.

The MPC provides an environment where industry, government, and academia collaborate to identify and address pivotal multidisciplinary issues in materials processing and manufacturing. The MPC focuses on strengthening its intellectual community, enhancing industrial outreach, and providing superior administrative support. It creates partnerships with industry to focus research and education on industrially relevant issues for the electronics, transportation, primary materials, construction, energy, and biomaterials sectors.
