Research
Foundational and Applied Research for the AI Era
Born out of Cornell University’s historic Faculty of Computing and Information Science and College of Engineering, Cornell Tech is the next iteration of the university’s 150 years of leadership in engineering and computer science. We continue Cornell’s long tradition in foundational academic research with the practical, hands-on, builder-mindset needed to bring it into use in the world.

Interdisciplinary collaboration
We bring together top-ranked faculty and researchers across disciplines to consider the societal implications of our research from the outset— not as an afterthought. From privacy to transparency and bias, in contexts spanning healthcare to urban systems, our research reflects real-world challenges.
Learning by building
From fully-equipped robotics and fabrication labs to initiatives shaping global economic policy and social justice, our labs and initiatives prove what’s possible when world-renowned researchers can experiment freely.
