Research at Stevens Institute of Technology
Research
Advancing Science, Engineering the Future
Research in Engineering and Science at Stevens is propelled by internationally renowned faculty, laboratories, research centers, shared facilities and strategic placement along the NY/NJ port system. Stevens is the region's premiere university for a range of disciplines, and its researchers are defining the future of engineering with groundbreaking innovations in diverse areas of application including Nanotechnology & Multi-scale Systems, Secure Systems, Maritime Technology and Ocean Engineering. Strategic initiatives and partnerships nationwide give faculty and students a wealth of opportunities to contribute to nationally critical advances in cybersecurity, information assurance, biomedicine, pharmaceutical manufacturing, wireless communications, naval architecture, environmental studies and much more.
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. Please contact Dr. Susanne Wetzel for more information.
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.
Two Shared Facilities:
Shared Facilities at Stevens are open to the Stevens community as well as outside investigators who wish to conduct research with state-of-the-art instrumentation in a convenient location:
The Laboratory for Multiscale Imaging (LMSI) houses instrumentation that provides imaging capabilities to study both synthetic and biological materials from macroscopic to microscopic length scale.
The MicroDevice Laboratory (MDL) explores military systems applications of emerging nanotechnologies that include: nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, micro/nano sensors and actuators, microchemical systems, nanoenergetics, and nanoscale energy harvesting.
