"WPI fosters research and learning. The excellent training and resources allow me to carry out innovative research and develop new ideas. I, therefore, have the ability to take risks and solve problems.”
-Mark Xatse, PhD, Biochemistry
"It is an amazing feeling to see my research project culminate after nearly a year of hard work. My team and I faced varying challenges that we worked to overcome. It was extremely fulfilling."
-Tessa Lytle, BS/MS, Mechanical Engineering
"My Innovation and Entrepreneurship experiences have not only enabled the technical testing behind many of my ideas, but have given me the confidence to share and excite others in pursuit of wild ideas."
-Jeremy Trilling, BS, Robotics Engineering
Undergraduate Student Research
Research is a fundamental component of WPI's undergraduate curriculum. From a first-year project that challenges students to address global issues to a major senior capstone project, students engage in journeys of discovery that prepare them to be leaders and innovators.
Graduate Student Research
WPI graduate students are conducting research on everything from aerospace engineering to zeolite crystallization, and from the frontiers of materials science to latest advances in cybersecurity. Together, as part of research teams, they are addressing some of the greatest challenges of our time.
Graduate Research Innovation Exchange
This is a two-part annual research poster celebration. The first part, an all-day event open to all graduate students engaged in research, highlights the breadth, diversity, and quality of WPI graduate research. Judges select up to 60 of the participants to compete for cash awards in part two.
