From a physicists point of view, the study of materials is intended to give insight into the fundamental processes at work. However, the scientists at MSU are also working to incorporate their findings into practical long-term applications. Dr. Kartik Ghosh, a Distinguished Professor of Physics, has been doing this sort of work in Springfield for many years. He stops by STEM Spots to talk about his efforts, collaborators and the atmosphere of diversity needed to get the job done.
