Our fifteen faculty members specialize in four areas of research that reflect the future of chemical engineering: biomolecular engineering; nanoscale electronics, photonics and materials processing; complex fluids and polymers; and sustainable energy systems. Visiting faculty, post-doctoral scientists, and other researchers enhance our program.

Dujduan Waraho prepares a sample of engineered bacterial cells for flow cytometric analysis.

A team of over a dozen staff members supports our research and teaching missions and manage our facilities.

We have over two hundred undergraduate students in the sophomore to senior classes. We typically award around 60 bachelors degrees and around twenty-five graduate degrees each year.
