This new degree provides breadth while preserving the depth and rigor of a PhD program. The Bredesen Center brings together extensive and complementary resources at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) and [...]

The Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences (JINS) was conceived to serve as an intellectual hub for the neutron science community and to enhance and support research at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). SNS was built by a partnership of six U.S. Department of Energy laboratories. Along with its [...]

The Science Alliance, a Tennessee Center of Excellence established in 1984, has a mission to expand cooperative ventures in research with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and in that process enhance science and engineering research programs at The University of Tennessee. Center research emphasizes strategic areas of importance to both organizations. Materials science, neutron science, [...]
