Our Work
The Auburn University Applied Research Institute (AUARI) exists to prepare the next generation of engineers and scientists by solving real-world challenges for the U.S. government and industry.
At AUARI, our students work alongside research professionals to rapidly design, build, test, deploy and scale advanced technologies to expand what's possible. Auburn grads won’t need years of training; they will be ready to work in aerospace, defense and biotechnology on day one.
