Real Research, Real World Applications.

Our research programs extend well beyond the walls of the College of Engineering and Mathematical Science. We engage in extensive interdisciplinary work with colleagues in the Learner College of Medicine and the Rubenstein School of Environmental and Natural Resources as well as other progressive departments within UVM. Whether the work is in artificial intelligence and computer security or biomaterials and environmental engineering, our students’ research work contribtes to some of the most important advances in our modern world.

UVM STUDENTS, GRADUATES AND FACULTY ARE HEEDING THE CALL FOR NEW SOLUTIONS TO CHALLENGING PROBLEMS. WE’RE ACTIVELY SEEKING COMMITTED, CURIOUS MINDS TO BE PART OF THE EFFORT. JOIN US.

 

Artificial Intelligence

The artificial intelligence group uses new machine learning and neural net algorithms in applications ranging from self-building robots to disease prevention to smart agriculture.

UVM’s Center for Biomedical Innovation (CBI) is a hub for design, development, and testing of biomedical devices and systems with a focus on rural healthcare. The center supports and trains inventors, entrepreneurs, and business leaders who will bring advanced biomedical technologies to the people of Vermont and the world. The CBI brings together students, faculty, and industry through shared programming and an interactive space for applied research, technology development, and education.

Civil and Environmental Engineering

The environmental engineering group works on modeling of pollution transport in stream and lake water, groundwater, and the atmosphere. The group performs both experimental sampling work, as well as lab experiments and theoretical modeling, and interacts closely with the Gund Institute for Environment and with the Rubenstein School of the Environment and Natural Resources.
