Characterization tools includes scanning tunnelling and atomic force microscopes , atomic resolution electron microscopes , organic and metallic thin film deposition , thermal characterization , spectrometers , and a variety of functional characterization equipment and modelling tools . It is widely used in drug discovery , combinatorial chemistry , polymer characterization , forensics , and proteomics . Faculty members are presently involved in research in diagnostic and therapeutic systems , imaging systems , soft and hard tissue biomechanics , biothermomechanics , tissue characterization , biomaterials used in the human body , orthopedic biomechanics , rehabiliation engineering , instrumentation , bioinstrumentation , measurement and analysis of human body signals , and analysis of the interaction between humans and medical devices . Small - the interdisciplinary forum for the very best experimental and theoretical studies of fundamental and applied research in synthetic procedures , materials properties and characterization , devices , and other applications at the micro and nano scales . Abstracts are invited on both fundamental and applied aspects of advanced electrochemical power sources , namely , batteries , super capacitors and fuel cells , in relation to materials synthesis and characterization , devices and evaluation , and integration and testing with reference to mobile applications . Much research concentrates on materials characterization , materials degradation , materials technology , evaluation of modern polymers , and the effects of conservation treatments on materials .
