Environmental Engineering at UNR: The University of Nevada, Reno is a Carnegie® "R1" (very high research activity) university. The university has grown substantially over the past decade, thanks to our commitment to building an inclusive, diverse and collaborative research environment. The environmental engineering program at UNR is among the top programs in the nation (#55 by U.S. News in 2023) and hosts three research centers, including Nevada Water Innovation Institute, the Global Water Center, and the Nevada Center for Water Resiliency. Our program's laboratories are certified for Biosafety Level 2 with enhanced practices (BSL-2+) and have state-of-the-art equipment including droplet digital PCR, HPLC, GC-MS/MS, GC-ECD, and FTIR. Other research facilities across UNR, including Nevada Genomics Center, Nevada Bioinformatics Center, and High Performance Computing Cluster, support research activities on environmental bioinformatics, large data set analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
