Message from
the Director
Welcome to the Institute for Physical Research
and Technology, or as it's sometimes called, IPRT, at Iowa State University
Renewable energy, homeland security, infrastructure problems — these are just a few of the major challenges for research and technology centers in universities across the country. With its two decades of experience in solving complex interdisciplinary problems, the Institute for Physical Research and Technology is well positioned to play a key role in addressing these fundamental problems.
I am honored to be the new director of IPRT. I believe that its network of diverse cutting-edge research centers, the application of this research to economic development through IPRT Company Assistance, and the educational outreach efforts of Science Bound combine to make this enterprise unique. Each year, hundreds of Iowa companies, both large and small, benefit from the expertise in IPRT.
George Kraus, IPRT Director
