Focus Areas

As a single, unified engineering school with no departmental boundaries, we focus on multidisciplinary research and research at the interfaces of traditional disciplines. To better coordinate multidisciplinary research efforts, we have developed four School-wide graduate focus areas:

• Bioengineering Systems
  The Bioengineering Systems group focuses on the behavior of living systems and their interaction with engineered materials and devices. Research in this area is performed in close collaboration with the outstanding UVM College of Medicine. Application areas include bio-imaging, bioinformatics, biomechanics, and neurological systems.
• Multiscale Systems
  The Multiscale Systems group focuses on the physics, modeling, and imaging of systems characterized by widely diverse length and time scales. Research in this area is performed in collaboration with the interdisciplinary program in Materials Science and with the UVM College of Medicine. Application areas include electromagnetics, imaging, fluid dynamics, microelectronics, and solid mechanics.
• Sensors and Control Systems
  The Sensors and Control Systems group focuses on distributed sensor/actuator systems and their control. Research in this area is performed in collaboration with the UVM Transportation Center and with active participation with regional companies, including IBM and Goodrich. Application areas include biosensors, environmental sensors, and mechatronics.
• Sustainable Systems
  The Sustainable Systems group focuses on the development and assessment of sustainable infrastructure systems. Research in this area is performed in collaboration with the UVM Transportation Center and the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources. Application areas include environmental systems, energy systems, historical preservation engineering, and transportation systems.
