The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Division of Materials Research selected the partnership between the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez (UPRM) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) for funding through the Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials Research (PREM) program.
Through PREM, NSF supports connections between minority-serving institutions and major-research centers, helping to broaden access to materials science-focused research opportunities. Eleven institutions received PREM awards in this competition. The Wisconsin MRSEC was selected for its collaboration with the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez (UPRM) to further pursue research in nano and soft materials.
Over the next six years, the partnership will receive $4.2 million to steward this partnership. Research topics include developing new catalysts for the creation of green energy, understanding the physics and materials science of novel superconductors, and devising ways to stabilize new drug formulations. Beyond the research opportunities, Assistant Director of Education and Outreach for MRSEC, Shelly Grandell sees it as so much more.
“The main goal of this partnership is to increase involvement in STEM fields and inspire the next generation of question askers and problem solvers who want to pursue research and degrees in these fields,” she says.
With support from MRSEC, UPRM’s PREM program (the Center for Advancing Research and Training for STEM Success) is training teachers to educate, engage and inspire Hispanic, K-12 students, undergraduates and graduate students about the possibilities STEM careers can provide. The center is particularly focused on empowering Hispanic women in materials science and related graduate programs. According to Grandell these priorities provide possibility, empowering students to embrace materials science.
“Representation matters so much,” Grandell says. “Students can see themselves reflected in these research spaces, seeing Latinx researchers and female researchers in their communities, fostering an inclusive environment and sense of belonging.”
This partnership has been cultivated for over 20 years. MRSEC Director, Professor Paul Voyles, says the relationship predates his time with UW-Madison.
Many students from UPRM have come to Wisconsin to conduct research with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering over the summer. Two of those students, Yomaira Pagan-Torres and Claribel Acevedo-Vélez, later returned to UW-Madison for their PhDs, and then became faculty members at UPRM. Today, they serve as the Director and Education Director for the Center for Advancing Research and Training for STEM Success, embodying the Wisconsin Idea by improving lives beyond our borders.
The PREM will allow this invaluable collaboration to continue, which could not have come at a better time. Engineers are in high demand, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Across the nation, the engineering profession must grow by 15% to meet society’s needs.
“We’re at an all-hands-on deck moment for training people in science and engineering to meet the future needs of the country,” Voyles says. “The UPR-UW PREM is one of the ways UW is seeking to meet that need.”
Paul Voyles is the Harvey D. Spangler Professor in materials science and engineering.

Vivian Bernard’s biomedical engineering undergraduate experience was infused with a desire to help others and to learn more about the broader region through the Gulf Scholars Program. (Scott Holstein/FAMU-FSU College of Engineering)
Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Florida, she wants to use engineering to help people in the best way she can.
“The main reason I wanted to be an engineer was to help people,” Bernard explained. “Growing up I knew how lucky I was, especially when comparing my life to those back in the Dominican Republic. I had opportunities and chances that people there could only dream of, so I’ve always wanted to do something that would allow me to give back and help others.”
One way Bernard has helped people is through the college’s Gulf Scholars Program . Student participants earn their degrees while doing meaningful work in communities in the Gulf of Mexico region of the United States.
“One thing I learned in the program is that to make a difference you don’t need to do anything big,” Bernard said. “By simply investing your time into a project, you will help others—and that makes a difference.”
Just before graduation in Spring 2024, Bernard shared her thoughts on engineering and impacting the world.
I dream of saving enough money to open a STEM school in the Dominican Republic. I want it to have plenty of lab space, a library, computers and an engineering workshop. It should be free to attend because most schools in the D.R. require parents to pay tuition, which isn’t an option for all families.
I want to inspire the next generation of students and nurture their love of learning about new things. I want to give them a hands-on experience they would only have if they were fortunate enough to attend college.
Since high school, my skills have aligned with those of an engineer. I look at things analytically and I fell in love with science in middle and high school. My teachers inspired me to choose engineering. Ironically, almost all my science teachers in high school were engineers. My biology teacher was the only one who wasn’t; initially, she was a pre-med major who decided to change paths to inspire students. Before I met them, becoming an engineer had never crossed my mind.
The Gulf Scholars Program added much value to my life because it allowed me to be in places and situations I would have never gotten to otherwise. It got us out of the classroom and talking to people. For example, we went to the FSU Marine Lab to talk about the Gulf’s oyster population and also to the Providence Community Garden near the college.
The program responds to student feedback. After going to Houston for the national conference, I told them I wanted to look at the labs and learn about the research at Rice. That led to a private tour with the researchers and a one-on-one conversation with the Vice Provost of Academic Affairs, who gave me academic and career advice. His words were impactful and gave me a new perspective on graduating.
I led a team of students from different universities, including LSU and Tulane, and did a deep dive to discover exciting facts about each school. Ultimately, we hosted a massive networking session at the Gulf Scholars Conference in Houston. At the event, we got some friendly rivalry going and had students talking to each other. I had to devise ways for them to network and find common ground.
I worked as a research assistant under Professor Liang at the High-Performance Materials Institute and was involved in an Air Force project. My work focused on making composites and mechanically characterizing materials. I also worked on another research project with Professor Liu as an Honors in the Major candidate. My research with him focused on developing a software package that combines image processing and physics-informed neural networks to extract kinematic information from images and videos of fluid flow.
The people. It doesn’t matter if it was the professors from my department or the friends I’ve made in the process; I feel like the time I spent with them will have a lasting impact. I’ve met many great engineering professors and mentors who have wanted to help me. They have given me nothing but support and have wished for my success. I know looking forward, I will never forget them. I am thankful for everything they did for me. I’ve also gotten a chance to make lifelong friends I hope to keep in my life forever.
Recently, I received and accepted a job offer from AbbVie as Associate Scientist I, Analytical Development, which is part of their Operations Scientist Development Program. I may come back and get my Ph.D., and I am interested in becoming a professor. I love to learn new things and love to help people, and being a professor would allow me to combine my two passions.

Elektrostal, located in the Moscow Oblast of Russia, has a rich and intriguing history that intertwines with the political landscape and geography of the region.
Elektrostal, with a current estimated population of approximately 160,000 residents, is a major industrial city situated in the eastern part of Moscow Oblast. The city's name translates to "Electro Steel," which reflects its historical association with the steel industry. Elektrostal's population has experienced significant growth over the years, particularly during the industrialization period of the Soviet Union.
The city's history can be traced back to the early 20th century when it was established as a planned settlement. In 1916, the Russian government made the decision to construct a large metallurgical plant in the region due to the availability of natural resources, such as iron ore and coal, as well as its proximity to Moscow. This marked the beginning of Elektrostal's industrial development, which would have a profound impact on its growth and identity.
During the Russian Revolution and subsequent establishment of the Soviet Union, Elektrostal, like many other industrial cities, played a crucial role in supporting the country's industrialization efforts. The city's steel plant became an integral part of the Soviet economy, contributing to the growth of heavy industry and the modernization of the nation. The political environment during this time heavily influenced the development of Elektrostal, as the centralized Soviet government prioritized industrial production and the advancement of the working class.
Throughout the 20th century, Elektrostal continued to expand and evolve. The city saw significant developments in infrastructure, housing, and social services to accommodate the needs of its growing population. Residential areas, schools, hospitals, and cultural institutions were established to provide for the well-being of the city's inhabitants. Additionally, the steel plant underwent modernization and expansion, leading to increased production capacity and employment opportunities.
However, the political environment of the Soviet Union also had its drawbacks. The centrally planned economy, which prioritized industrial output, often neglected environmental considerations. As a result, Elektrostal, like many other industrial cities, faced issues related to pollution and environmental degradation. Efforts were made to mitigate these problems over time, with the implementation of stricter environmental regulations and the introduction of cleaner production technologies.
The geographical location of Elektrostal also influenced its history and development. Situated in the Moscow Oblast, the city benefited from its proximity to the capital city. This allowed for easy transportation of goods and resources, as well as access to a wider range of cultural and educational opportunities. The region's favorable climate, with warm summers and cold winters, also played a role in shaping the city's lifestyle and economy.
In recent decades, Elektrostal has undergone further transformations. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the city experienced a shift from a planned economy to a market-oriented system. This transition brought both opportunities and challenges, as Elektrostal had to adapt to the new economic realities while preserving its industrial heritage.
Today, Elektrostal continues to be an important industrial hub, with the steel plant remaining a major employer in the region. However, the city has also diversified its economy, attracting investments in sectors such as manufacturing, electronics, and engineering. Efforts have been made to enhance the quality of life for residents, with the development of recreational areas, parks, and cultural events.
