Research
At the Tulane University School of Science and Engineering (SSE), our research isn’t just about discovery — it’s about impact. Rooted in the vibrant city of New Orleans, we bring together bold thinkers across science and engineering to tackle real-world challenges — from sustainable energy and resilient coastal systems to advanced biomedical solutions and AI-driven innovations. Explore our Centers & Institutes, navigate Funding Opportunities, connect with Sponsored Projects Administration, join our Seminars and Colloquia, watch SSE Videos, celebrate our Outstanding Researcher Award, and discover Undergraduate Research Opportunities that empower students to dive into real-world inquiry from day one.
From Curiosity to Discovery: Research at Tulane
Research at the Tulane School of Science and Engineering is more than an opportunity — it’s a defining part of the student experience. Through hands-on projects in labs, in the field, and alongside faculty mentors, students turn curiosity into discovery while building skills that shape their academic and professional futures.
So You Want to Be a Researcher? is a video series that highlights students as they take you inside their research journeys. From biomedical engineering and neuroscience to synthetic biology, environmental science, optics, and coastal research, these stories show how Tulane SSE empowers students to ask big questions, work with cutting-edge tools, and contribute to research that matters — long before graduation.
