The Science and Technology Research Center

The Science and Technology Research Center (STRC) was established as a result of the generous support of 1968 AUC graduate Yousef Jameel. The center is interdisciplinary and draws on the expertise of the university's engineering and science departments. The center supports a variety of nanoscience and technology- oriented projects, which make use of its state-of-the-art equipment housed in its new facilities in the New Falaki Building.

Research activities are centered around generic imaging, analysis and fabrication equipment and focus on nanomaterials characterization, and design and fabrication of micro-opto-electromechanical systems. People are the center’s key assets and, therefore, the center aims to attract high-caliber researchers around the world who, together with the current members, contribute to its research themes and help steer its future research activities.
