This version provides general information about the college, centers, and funders. Listings for each investigator follow with the research area or lab, principal investigator, research summary, external collaborators, and funders. Unfortunately, there is a viewing limitation. When you view a linked page and then return to the document, the browser back arrow disregards your current location in the document and returns you to the document top. To avoid having to find your last location each time you click a link, download this version and view locally.
2. Abbreviated Version
The version displayed below has less information about funders and each investigator, but also makes it easy to obtain contact information. For campus visitors, it also adds research building locations.
To get to these buildings, search by code or name at the Campus Map for: City Center Plaza (CCP) and the U.S. Bank Building next door (U.S. Bank); Charles P. Ruch Engineering (RUCH); the Environmental Research Building (ERB); Harry Morrison Civil Engineering (HML); the Micron Center for Materials Research (MCMR); the Micron Engineering Center (MEC); the Multipurpose Classroom Building (MPCB), and the Yanke Family Research Park (YFRB).
