A $235 million research budget in 1997-98 helped UT Austin investigators explore everything from ancient Mayan hieroglyphics to robots performing tasks too hazardous for humans.  Our research facilities are among the best in the United States.  Eighty-seven organized research units are complemented by interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research programs.

Our facilities include the J. J. Pickle Research Campus - a 475-acre tract that houses 21 science, engineering and archeology laboratories - and extensive computer facilities.  These include access to mainframe terminals, microcomputers and a Cray T3E supercomputer linked on a high-speed communications network.  All of these computers are available to academic departments and research centers, as well as to faculty, staff and students.
