Chemical Engineering Minor

Research in the Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS) Department spans all aspects of chemical and materials engineering, ranging from fluid mechanics, transport, catalysis, and reactor design to bioengineering, renewable energy, polymer synthesis and processing, and advanced semiconductor growth and characterization. A strong tradition in mathematical modeling and computation complements experimental efforts. The research of CEMS core faculty and affiliated graduate faculty is organized into 14 themes: applied and computational mathematics; biological engineering; catalysis, separations and reaction engineering; electrochemical materials and devices; electronic, magnetic and photonic materials; electron microscopy; energy; materials processing; materials theory; nanomaterials and nanotechnology; nanomechanics and plasticity; polymer science and engineering; systems engineering; and transport and fluid mechanics.
