Pacific Centre for Advanced
Materials and Microstructures (PCAMM)
About PCAMM:
The Pacific Centre for Advanced Materials
and
Microstructures (PCAMM) brings together world-class expertise and
sophisticated
materials research infrastructure at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and
at The
University of British Columbia (UBC). The
depth and breadth of materials scientists in the Vancouver area
led to the formation of PCAMM
in 1995. This collaborative venture seeks to ensure that developments
in
materials growth, fabrication, and characterization at the two
universities are
optimized both in terms of people and resources for the entire region.
Exceptional research outcomes are achieved through collaboration among
research
groups with complementary expertise; this philosophy, which is common
in
industry and government, has been adopted within PCAMM.
PCAMM is currently based on seven
complementary laboratories whose directors are committed to maintaining
the
equipment at the highest levels, both for their own individual research
programs and for the research of others. In
this way, PCAMM creates a unique centre for materials
research that
is internationally competitive and capable of addressing some of the
most
important contemporary materials research issues.
