A vital part of TMI’s mission is to provide faculty and students at UT Austin with the instrumentation and associated infrastructure needed for state-of-the-art materials research. To fulfill this mission, TMI manages a variety of core central facilities, all of which are supported by a Ph.D.-level facility manager. To find out how to get started using the TMI facilities, you can search the list of available research equipment, get information about rates and billing, or contact our facility managers directly.
