Program Overview
The Department of Chemical Engineering offers opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students to pursue coursework and research in energy sciences and technology, including the chemical, physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences.
In addition, undergraduates and graduate students can pursue work in interdisciplinary biosciences, including the chemical, biological, physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences. Students are encouraged to review course offerings in all departments of the School of Engineering and to seek academic advice from individual chemical engineering faculty. Students wishing assistance should talk with student services staff in the department.
Current research and teaching activities cover several advanced topics in chemical engineering, including applied statistical mechanics, biocatalysis, biochemical engineering, bioengineering, biophysics, computational materials science, colloid science, dynamics of complex fluids, energy conversion, functional genomics, hydrodynamic stability, kinetics and catalysis, microrheology, molecular assemblies, nanoscience and technology, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, polymer physics, protein biotechnology, renewable fuels, semiconductor processing, soft materials science, solar utilization, surface and interface science, and transport mechanics.
