Research at Stevens Institute of Technology

Research in Engineering and Science at Stevens is backed by world-renowned faculty, laboratories, research centers and shared facilities. Their efforts focus on the transition of technology from research to enhance knowledge and create groundbreaking innovations in the areas of Nanotechnology & Multi-scale Systems and Secure Systems.

Three National Centers of Excellence:

The National Center for Secure & Resilient Maritime Commerce (CSR) is a Department of Homeland Security National Center of Excellence. It seeks to provide for the safe and secure use of our nation's maritime domain (including island and extreme environments, and inland waterways), and a resilient Maritime Transportation System (MTS), through advancement of the relevant sciences and development of the new workforce.

The Center for the Advancement of Secure Systems and Information Assurance (CASSIA) is a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research. The mission of the center is to foster collaboration and act as a catalyst for research, education, and entrepreneurship in information assurance and cybersecurity.

The Atlantic Center for the Innovative Design and Control of Small Ships (ACCeSS) seeks to establish a cohesive center involving all engineering disciplines within the context of the total ship system architecture to facilitate the knowledge development, educational changes, and discipline integration required for true innovation. ACCeSS further looks to use this unique education and research environment in the recruiting, training and long-term career development of the best and brightest young engineers in the U.S.
