Driving Discovery. Advancing Solutions.
Research and innovation are at the core of the College of Applied and Natural Sciences at Louisiana Tech University. Our faculty and students collaborate across disciplines to tackle real-world challenges in health, agriculture, environmental science, and human performance. From developing sustainable forestry practices and advancing biomedical research to improving health outcomes through cutting-edge data analytics and communication science, ANS is shaping the future through inquiry and impact. Students are engaged early in hands-on research experiences—working side-by-side with faculty mentors in state-of-the-art labs, on our 1,150-acre South Campus, and through community-based projects. Whether it's through groundbreaking discoveries or practical innovations, ANS research drives progress that extends well beyond the classroom.
