The University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) is a national leader in scientific and engineering research, serving government, industry, and nonprofit customers. UDRI is ranked first in the nation among all colleges and universities for sponsored materials research, according to the National Science Foundation. We employ people with a passion for innovation and reward that passion with the freedom to grow their research interests and careers. Because our research is externally funded, UDRI operates like a business while remaining part of a private doctoral university. As a result, our researchers can collaborate with recognized peers throughout UDRI, UD faculty and students, and researchers at our sponsor and partner locations.
