Research Units
One of the strengths of the College of Engineering is its ability to cross traditional academic boundaries in collaborative research. Much of this work is conducted through interdisciplinary research centers and institutes, which include:
- California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI)
- Center for Bio-Image Informatics
- Center for the Chemical Design of Materials
- Center for Control, Dynamical-Systems, and Computation (CCDC)
- Center for Information Technology and Society
- Center for Multifunctional Materials and Structures
- Center for Nanotechnology and Society
- Center for Nanotechnology for Treatment, Understanding and Monitoring of Cancer (NanoTUMOR)
- Center for Polymers and Organic Solids
- Center for Risk Studies and Safety
- Complex Fluid Design Consortium
- Information Sensing, Processing, and Networking Research Group (ISPAN)
- Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB)
- Institute for Multiscale Materials Studies
- Institute for Energy Efficiency
- Interdisciplinary Center for Wide Band-Gap Semiconductors
- International Centers for Materials Research
- Materials Research Laboratory
- Mitsubishi Chemical Center for Advanced Materials
- National Nanofabrication Infrastructure Network

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or units:
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
