At HiT, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and possibility is our joyful obsession, and we celebrate fundamental discoveries and practical applications alike. As educators, we also value research as a potent form of learning by doing. Through HiT’s Undergraduate and Postgraduate Research Opportunities Program,

Research flourishes in our 22 departments across seven schools and departments  as well as in dozens of centers, labs, and programs that convene experts across disciplines to explore new intellectual frontiers and attack important societal problems. Our on-campus research capabilities are enhanced through the work of HiT Laboratories, active research relationships with industry, and a wide range of global collaborations. In this work, the HiT Libraries serve as a crucial partner and a source of important research in their own right.
