Research Interest Groups

Research Interest Groups (RIGs) help connect PIs across campus to build interdisciplinary teams that span multiple colleges, schools, or units, but for which there is not an established unit on campus. Topics, research questions, and goals are all driven by members of the RIGs. RIGs are a great way to mobilize a team with shared or complementary expertise and goals.

The College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) offers collaborative research opportunities in the following interest areas. Click on the research interest groups for more information, as well as the faculty associated.
