Make an impact through research

Collaborative community

Pudur Jagadeeswaran, professor of biological sciences

Our students and faculty researchers are collaborating across disciplines to solve real-world problems. You may help revolutionize how we light the world, expand our understanding of developmental physiology or explore how technology impacts art.

Research Investment

The university is investing more than $25 million in multidisciplinary research clusters to build upon its research strengths. This initiative is expanding UNT’s expertise and attracting top faculty from around the country. These new faculty include researchers like Alan Needleman, a member of the National Academy of Engineering and newly elected to the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Real problems, real solutions

Application and research converge at UNT. Our nearly 290-acre Discovery Park houses inventive research programs and technology-driven economic opportunities. Students and faculty work closely together to turn leading-edge discoveries into marketplace innovations. With state-of-the-art instruments, you may analyze materials at the atomic level, discovering solutions for reducing jet engine decay or building more cost-effective roadways.

"UNT offers wonderful opportunities. I'm using computer models and simulations to study the effects of radiation on nanostructured stainless steel."
