INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH THEMES

Autonomous Systems

Investigating how smart, safe and secure autonomy can expand and exploit the full capabilities of these networked systems. Convenes faculty with expertise in robotics, cybersecurity, verification and validation, control theory, unmanned systems, machine learning and more.

Precision Biomaterials

Integrating biomaterials design with drug and cell-based technologies to engineer and validate new combinational health care products and translate clinical needs into therapies, spanning from molecular design to medical product design.

Multi-Functional Materials

Establishing the science of integration of materials that metabolize energy into distributed sensing, actuation and computation. Will bring together researchers from biology, computer science, material science, electrical engineering and more.

Imaging Science

Transforming society by saving lives through medical imaging, increasing integrated electronics performance through fast metrology, and enabling the extraction of resources in environmentally friendly ways through seismic imaging.

Quantum Integrated Sensor Systems

Establishing Colorado as the preeminent national resource for quantum applied science and engineering research and education. Emphasizes engineering and translating quantum technologies, in particular quantum sensors, toward practical applications.

Water-Energy Nexus

Solving one of the world鈥檚 leading long-term technical challenges by bringing together researchers from different disciplines to address the pressing challenges surrounding water, energy and associated systems such as food, land, air quality and climate.
