WPI faculty members and students are engaged in advanced, interdisciplinary research across a broad range of fields. From cutting-edge work in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, to explorations of the technological and policy issues surrounding cybersecurity, to studies of issues as diverse as firefighter health and security and the fire safety challenges of green buildings, this fundamental and applied research is addressing vital societal problems and technological challenges and producing innovations and insights that are helping build a better world.
WPI has well-established strengths in many research areas. But researchers are building dedicated communities in four interdisciplinary areas that cross disciplinary boundaries. The four areas are Smart World, Materials Reimagined (MatR), BioPoint, and Global Initiatives.
Under the leadership of Vice Provost for Research Bogdan Vernescu, WPI’s research award volume has increased steadily over each of the last five years.
