Research Areas of Impact

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.

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.

The design and discovery of new materials.

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. 

Interpretting large amounts of data quickly to improve the intelligence of machines.

The design, construction, and operation of unmanned machines.

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.

Replacing or regenerating cells to restore function.

Using computation to better understand biology, like monitoring heart rate or body temperature.

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. 

Innovating within the linkages of water, energy and environment.

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.

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.
