Physical Science and Engineering Division
The mission of the Physical Sciences and Engineering Division is to create knowledge pertaining to matter at all scales, nano, meso, macro, in all forms, from bulk, to divided colloids and fluids. as well as the interaction of matter with external stimuli in order to design new materials/technologies addressing the issues of our times. Research in the Division includes areas such as theoretical physics and physical chemistry; catalysis and bioengineering; polymers and composites; energy production, storage and conversion; water purification and environmental protection; novel materials, nanodevices and systems; sensors and smart devices for the detection of pollutants and the purification of air, water, and food; earth sciences, mechanics and geomechanics; oil exploration and recovery; and CO2 sequestration.-
