The research leaders who work, study, and innovate at Rensselaer share a common focus: unearthing new opportunities for solving the 21st century’s most challenging problems. Right now, more than 6.5 billion people are competing for the Earth’s dwindling supply of fossil fuels.

Rensselaer has faced that challenge by launching and expanding programs in renewable energy sources and energy conservation.
Media, Arts, and Social Sciences Researchers (2024-25) Troy, NY
Building on Rensselaer’s long tradition of innovation at the intersection of science, technology and the arts, our attention is turned to emerging needs at the human/technology interface.

Students learn to speak Chinese through the Mandarin Project’s virtual reality, synthetic intelligent characters and gamification.
