Research Centers

Supporting and enhancing our degree programs are exciting research programs led by world-class faculty. The department is home to two federally-funded research centers – one focused on nanomanufacturing and another focused on healthcare systems engineering. Faculty are also part of many college and university research centers and institutes, such as the Institute for Experiential AI and Institute for Experiential Robotics.

  • nanomanufacturing wafer Center for High Rate Nanomanufacturing

    The Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN) is focused on developing tools and processes to enable high-rate/high-volume bottom-up, precise assembly of nanoelements (such as carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles) and polymer nanostructures.
