Welcome to the 'Institute for Advanced Materials And Renewable Energy' (IAM-RE) at the University of Louisville. The University with support from the state of Kentucky and several federal funding agencies including the Department of Energy (DOE), National Science Foundation (NSF) and the US Army established the IAM-RE in April 2007 with the following mission.

The IAM-RE's mission is to enable research and education on advanced materials science and engineering with potential benefits to the global community, and support the growth of regional industry through advanced materials science and engineering.

The primary goals of the institute are to:

1. Promote and enable a research agenda on advanced materials for energy conversion, alternate energy technologies, nanotechnology and structural biology.
   

2. Promote a curriculum in basic and advanced materials science for UofL students as well as students and technologists from regional universities and industry. Enable the development of a graduate certificate program in advanced materials science and engineering for UofL students.
   

3. Establish and operate the core facility for advanced materials characterization as a university-wide resource for UofL faculty and support R&D services to regional universities and industries leading eventually to the establishment of a nationally recognized, University-Industry Cooperative Research Center.
