UA Launches Collaborative Materials and Optics Research Lab with French Universities
The lab will be directed by Pierre Lucas, associate professor of materials science and engineering, and Jean Luc Adam of the department of chemistry at the University of Rennes, and will focus its work in the areas of optics, environmental and biomedical detection, and imaging and astronomy.
International research in the fields of thermal imaging, remote spectroscopy, medical imaging and astronomy has a home on the campus of the University of Arizona thanks to collaborations between researchers at the UA and two French universities.
University of Arizona President Robert N. Shelton met with representatives on Monday from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientific, or CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), to mark the inauguration of the CNRS International Associated Laboratory for Materials and Optics on the UA campus.
