Research

Researchers at Michigan’s R1 flagship technological university have incredible assets at their fingertips. The innovative prototypes and methods they pioneer impact environments reaching from the depths of Lake Superior—the world's largest freshwater lake by surface—to outer space. Ideas conceived in our 15 research centers and institutes become licensed life-changing technologies. Michigan Tech brings faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, community, government, and industrial partners together to create the future. Together, we explore creative research approaches and develop the technological solutions tomorrow needs.
