Energy, Climate, and Sustainability
Our energy future is truly a systems problem, with the broad range of stakeholders’ needs, technology, and societal impacts. Research in this area focuses on completing solutions that are sustainable, responsible, and socially achievable.
Cyber-Physical Infrastructure and Human-System Interactions
Complex cyber-physical systems involve interconnected systems communicating and interacting with one another over small or vast distances. We explore and develop both hardware and software for building robust systems that respond to real-time events.
Medicine, Health, and Social-Technical Systems
Transdisciplinary systems research focuses on providing a deep understanding of the medical sciences, a strong quantitative engineering foundation, and extensive hands-on clinical experience.
Urban Technology, Environment, and Infrastructure Operations and Policy
Technology and infrastructure systems – both physical and social – connect the spatial, social, and economic structure of cities and provide critical services for the public health, economic well-being, and security of communities.
Engineering Education
Engineering education research is a systematic study of education systems to create knowledge that defines, informs, and improves engineering education. It’s an interdisciplinary field that uses research methods from education, social sciences, and learning sciences and aims to develop innovative strategies that empower student to excel in their studies and become the next generation of engineers.
