Research
Leading the Way
Northeastern engineers lead the
way in interdisciplinary research. Collaborations with biologists,
chemists, physicists, geologists, and physicians are producing new
answers to problems like tumor detection, soil remediation, and
emissions control. Explorations with industrial partners are making
better, smarter products in industries from telecommunications to
automotive manufacturing.
