Our full-time staff of over 500 people combines creative research expertise and extensive technical capabilities with a strong customer focus to deliver quality solutions, on budget and on time.

Our materials engineering research effort alone is the second largest in the nation among universities, and our engineering research ranks second in Ohio. As a division of the University of Dayton, UDRI provides unique opportunities for our customers to engage students under arrangements that allow them to develop their future workforce. In addition, we can readily engage faculty for specific technical expertise as your needs dictate.
