The Center for Material Science is a new interdisciplinary initiative at Pratt. It focuses on research and applications of new materials aligning with an economic model that preserves the environment and respects social justice.

We are faculty from design, architecture, and math and science who work to develop fabrication methods and design functional products with biodegradable materials. We are also exploring processes for studying and sensing their degradation and environmental impact. Our goal is to bring all this new knowledge to our students to give them a space to explore and participate in research projects.
