Research Centers and Facilities

The URI College of Engineering is home to cutting-edge research centers and facilities that drive innovation across our core research themes. These centers serve as hubs for interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together faculty within the College and across the university to address complex challenges.  In addition to those housed within the College, our faculty are active contributors to university-wide and statewide affiliate research centers—extending the reach and impact of their expertise across Rhode Island and beyond.

Our state-of-the-art research facilities support both faculty- and student-led research while also serving as a resource for industry, government, and private partners. By offering access to advanced instrumentation, testing environments, and technical expertise, these facilities strengthen partnerships and foster real-world innovation well beyond campus.
