The RIT College of Science has many well-established areas of research in imaging science, color science, detectors, astrophysical sciences, and the physical sciences. The college’s world-renowned Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science is the university’s largest research center, generating millions in research funding annually and serving as the hub for its Ph.D. program in imaging science.
Undergraduate science and math students frequently work alongside faculty to conduct original research and regularly present at international and national conferences and publish, as co-authors, in peer-reviewed journals. The college is currently running four NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs.
