WEST HAVEN, CONN. --- The University of New Haven (UNH) has received a grant of nearly $200,000 from the National Science Foundation to purchase a multipurpose X-ray diffractometer (XRD) system.
The instrument, which will be installed on campus next summer, will be used by faculty and students in several academic programs at UNH, including chemistry and engineering programs in the Tagliatela College of Engineering, forensic sciences in the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences and physics and environmental science in the College of Arts and Sciences.
It will also be used for programs offered by the Engineering and Science University Magnet School (ESUMS) and in collaborations UNH has with other colleges and community groups, said Daniel May, provost and senior vice president of academic affairs.
“This equipment will be a tremendous asset in training undergraduates and graduate students interested in crystallography and materials science and will provide them with hands-on, practical experiences that will benefit them in their future studies and their careers.”
Having the XRD system on campus will enable faculty at UNH to build partnerships and strengthen existing collaborations with faculty at nearby institutions, such as the Yale British Art Gallery and the New Haven Mineral Club, May said.
