“I think none of us anticipated that this would turn into anything more than a class paper, but we all felt that there was something there.”Undergraduate Research

“Knowing that what I'm doing will actually help decrease carbon emissions and contribute to mitigating the climate change impacts is very rewarding.”Graduate Research

“Plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene are great materials; we use them for everything. But the problem is their strong properties, which make them so great for so many applications, also mean they don’t degrade…. We have to do something about that.”Postdoctoral Research
Radical Collaboration
Multidisciplinary Partnerships
The challenges of the world and the big picture of what’s possible rarely fit neatly into a single academic discipline. This is why we’ve made collaboration and communication a way of life at Cornell. We foster a community of renowned scholars that spans disciplines, locations, and industries in order to convert promising ideas and innovations into results that truly matter.

Extreme Talent
The Best & Brightest Faculty
Talented researchers and top scholars know that teaching and learning are intrinsic to one another. That's why they come to Cornell. They know they can push the boundaries of discovery by engaging with students who, in turn, engage with and challenge them.
