| Description | NY Center for Advanced Technology |
The Center for Advanced Ceramic Technology was founded at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, which provided the CACT with a strong foundation of education and research in the area of ceramics. It is now a world-renowned ceramics and glass science school, with the only glass science PhD program in the country. The CACT was redesignated by NYS to provide an outcomes-based approach to research. Economic impact to NYS is now built into every new research program.
The focus at Alfred University’s CACT is advanced ceramic materials and processing, which include electronic ceramics… high-temperature structural ceramics… photonic ceramics and glasses… bioceramics and glasses… whitewares… advanced manufacturing processes, including nanostructured processing capabilities… computer modeling and simulation… and electromagnetic processing.
