ASU faculty and students are leading research that moves our world forward.


The biggest problems in our world cannot be solved alone. Meet ASU doctoral student Charles Rolsky and his mentor, Professor Rolf Halden.

ASU researchers are crossing disciplinary lines to tackle some of the biggest, most complex challenges on Earth. In just 10 years, the university has more than doubled its research funding and is considered one of the nation’s top universities for transforming research into businesses by the Milken Institute, ahead of Harvard, USC and Duke.

ASU is where innovation works. For you.
