PREM: Center on Interfaces in Materials PI: William Brittain, DMR The Vision of the PREM Center on Interfaces in Materials is to become a Central Texas leader for increasing minority STEM participation by integration of discovery-based materials research. This PREM Center is a vigorous, long-term collaborative relationship with the Research Triangle MRSEC based on transformative science that is demonstrably enhancing recruiting and retention of underrepresented groups into materials research.
