Research Areas of Impact
In 2020, the College of Engineering and Applied Science accumulated more than 170 awards, $21.6 million in grants and contracts, and nearly 50 research sponsors. This mobilized discoveries in virus testing, breakthroughs in urban flood research, and innovations in pandemic response. We are changing everyday tasks, altering traditional systems, and improving lives. Next lives here.
Cross-cutting Technologies
Engineering and technology that occurs where two engineering fields meet - like the civil engineering of a bridge with the enviromental engineering of its impact on the surrounding area.
Modeling and Simulation
Using models to simulate processes and gather data. Then use that data to improve the product or process at a lower cost than actually performing the process.
Materials
The design and discovery of new materials.
Industry 5.0
Home to seven Fortune 500 companies, Cincinnati industry looks to us to facilitate innovation. We are committed to improving manufacturing processes, automation, AI, and more that can streamline and impact our city's infrastructure.
Data Science & Artificial Intelligence
Interpretting large amounts of data quickly to improve the intelligence of machines.
Robotics & Uninhabited Systems
The design, construction, and operation of unmanned machines.
Medical and Health Sciences
The close proximity to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and Cincinnati's Childrens offers a unique opportunity for research collaborations in the bioinformatics and tissue engineering fields. Access top doctors and renown hospitals influence research and beyond.
Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine
Replacing or regenerating cells to restore function.
Bioinformatics
Using computation to better understand biology, like monitoring heart rate or body temperature.
Urban Futures
As a urban university, our impact on our region matters. Breakthroughs in environmental footprint can change the way we live, innovations in constructing new buildings can improve the way we work, and discoveries in transportation efficiencies can alter how we maneuver.
Water, Energy, and Environment
Innovating within the linkages of water, energy and environment.
Transportation & Infrastructure
Cincinnati's diverse infrastructure keeps researchers on their toes. Revolutionizing historic preservation, transforming new construction, and altering transportation are key factors to a city like ours.
Smart Buildings
From improving technology that controls water irrigation to utilizing sustainable building materials, the field incorporates environmental footprint with innovations to improve the landscape of new and existing buildings.
