Research drives engineering excellence at Iowa State University. Our diverse activities cut across molecular biology, quantum physics, medicine, and atmospheric and plant sciences, to name just a few. We conduct our research in outstanding facilities in areas such as bioengineering, materials science, virtual reality, and high- performance computing.
We are guided by the 2050 Challenge, knowing that engineering research will play a central role in determining the well-being of our planet and the prosperity of its people.
Research Highlights
 Nanoscale SensorsConducting research under the auspices of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, Pranav Shrotriya is hoping to build a working model of a sensor that is able to detect the presence of substances such as drugs, bacteria, or explosives that pose a threat to health, national security, or the environment.
