About Rice University (www.rice.edu):  

Rice University is located in Houston and is one of the leading teaching and research universities of the United States. In materials research, Rice University is a preeminent international institute and a leader in nanoscience. Times Higher Education (THE), a UK publication for professionals in education and research, has mentioned Rice No. 1 in the world in materials science research, based on the number of citations per paper between 1999 and 2009. Rice is ranked the nation's 17th-best overall university by U.S. News & World Report.

 

About Houston:

Houston is the 4th largest city in US and is considered the energy capital of the world particularly because of its great investments in technology and research in oil and natural gas, energy-efficient infrastructures, renewable energy sources, wind, and solar energy. Houston is a highly multicultural city with the second-largest concentration of arts and theaters in the US. 

 

About the Departments:

 

The Department of Materials Science and NanoEngineering, and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice University focus on research areas that involve collaborative efforts with professors and students from numerous institutes across and outside the campus. This freedom to pursue a truly interdisciplinary research-based education has benefited the graduate students, post-doctoral associates and research scientists intellectually and professionally. As the world embraces ever more complex technological approaches, such collaborative environments are essential to meet the challenge of the future with a strong system-based approach and interdisciplinary exposure for the researchers of the future.
