Intro
Advancing our world
At CEMS, our world-class research programs extend far beyond the walls of the college. We engage in extensive interdisciplinary work with our colleagues in the Larner College of Medicine, the Rubenstein School of Environmental, and a broad range of departments and programs within UVM. Whether the work is in artificial intelligence, computer security, advanced biomaterials, or environmental engineering, the research work our students engage in contributes to important advances throughout the state and across the globe.
UVM students, graduates, and faculty continue to heed the call for new solutions to challenging problems, and we actively recruit committed, curious minds to be part of the effort.
