Research at the Watson School
Research programs play an integral role in graduate and undergraduate studies in the school.
Nearly all faculty have active research programs and supervise graduate students. In fact, more than 100 graduate students are supported on sponsored research awards.
Additionally, our effort to enhance undergraduate education has been advanced with annual National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site awards allowing students to spend a summer on the Binghamton campus engaged in research with our faculty.
Our research programs span the academic departments and often integrate with campus-wide organized research centers and institutes of advanced studies.
Areas of research include:
- Applied nanomaterials
- Applied soft computing and fuzzy logic
- Bio-MEMS/NEMS
- Computer security
- Control systems
- Electronics manufacturing
- Electronics packaging (thermal, fluids, structural,electrical, materials, reliability)
- Electronics, photonics
- Health systems engineering
- Human factors
- Information hiding and digital imagery
- Information systems
- Materials synthesis and characterization
- Mechanical reliability measurement and simulation
- Microfluidic devices
- Multi-core computer algorithms
- Networking, virtual machines
- Power management and energy aware computing
- Robotic swarms and swarm chemistry
- Sensors modeling and reliability
- Signal processing and communications

- Speech communication
- Supply chain management
Since our founding in 1983, the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University has developed an outstanding reputation in the areas of small scale systems, electronics packaging, information security and intelligent systems. Our faculty expertise is critical to our success as a designated New York State Center of Excellence in Small Scale Systems Integration and Packaging (S3IP).
Our diverse research activities are centralized within the departments and organized research centers. To learn more, you should surf our department links.
