Chemical engineering research areas

Research areas

Advanced materials and manufacturing

Our faculty members study materials and systems that can change their properties in response to external conditions and engineer dynamic solutions.

Biological/Biomedical engineering

MAE faculty members explore the behavior of fluids, like air and water, and their effects on objects, optimizing performance in systems such as aircraft and vehicles.

Membranes and separations for energy and sustainability

By focusing on efficiency, functionality and scalability, faculty members and students bridge the gap between creative design and practical implementation.

Metabolic engineering

We’re developing intelligent robots through the integration of physics, computation and state of the art engineering.
