Research & Innovation
At the Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science, we pride ourselves on advancing the cutting-edge, impactful research pursued by our faculty, staff, and students. Our researchers are engaged in work that ranges from building a new understanding of human motion to strengthening electronic information security. We emphasize projects with the potential to contribute to the common good, whether local to our Denver community or on a global scale.
Our faculty and staff members foster a committed research environment for our students. It's this school-wide passion for discovery that, combined with our extensive laboratories and equipment, allow our students to forge their own path into the future and achieve their goals.

Engineering in Medicine
Our faculty are doing seminal work in biomechanics, with a particular emphasis on devices. Our Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics and Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab collaborate with other schools and industries to drive the future of biomedical devices and technology.
Embodied AI and Robotics
Our Unmanned Systems Research Institute works to promote knowledge, education, research and development in unmanned systems to provide tools for those who need them, like those suffering from Alzheimer's.
Power and Energy
Through the use of smart grids, infrastructure management, computation and mathematics, our researchers work to design smart and sustainable cities for a better world.
AI Initiative Workspace
As part of the DU Forward initiative, the University of Denver is launching the Center for Ethical Generative AI Applications (CEGAIA). The CEGAIA is an interdisciplinary hub that will help integrate AI tools and ethics into teaching, research, and community partnerships.
