Research

Real-world Research

Our research doesn’t stop in the lab – it’s being put to work by Alabama agriculture and forestry. It’s reimaging cybersecurity to make our world a safer place. It’s defining artificial intelligence, machine learning, next-generation manufacturing and quantum computing. And it’s powering Alabama’s space industry to once again take Americans back to the moon.

We’re not just learners, we’re doers.
