ADVANCED CHARACTERISATION AND INSTRUMENTATION (ACI)

The ACI Department at IMRE focuses on the use of advanced instrumentation as well as the development of novel techniques for the analysis and characterization of materials at high precision and efficiency. These technologies enable a deeper understanding of the materials’ properties and underlying mechanisms ranging from the bulk down to the atomic scale, as well as in different environments tailored for the desired application. In line with IMRE’s and A*STAR’s mission, the goal is to support the challenging failure analysis requirements in research and to realize the development of new materials. In addition, we possess capabilities in productization to translate our research outcomes into prototypes for possible commercialization.

Home to a suite of high-performance analytical instruments and a qualified team of experienced scientists and specialists, the department offers a broad range of services in advanced materials characterization and failure analyses to support not only A*STAR researchers, but also the wider research community including universities, public sector agencies and industry.
