Chemical Engineering M.S.
Overview
The Chemical Engineering M.S. program gives you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in chemical engineering through research and coursework.
Our program places an emphasis on hands-on learning and offers students a chance to conduct sophisticated research with real world impacts.
Areas of research concentration include:
- Biochemical engineering: reactors, metal-bacteria interactions, and chemical production
- Bionanotechnology: hybrid bio/nano materials, drug delivery, biomolecular processes, nanocomposite hydrogels and microparticles, sensors and devices.
- Energy engineering: energy storage and lithium ion batteries
- Materials engineering: corrosion and erosion, electronic materials processing, ceramic processing, polymer films, conducting polymers, thin film materials and sensors, and flame retardants
- Pharmaceutical engineering: dry powder processing, production of particle-based therapeutics, engineering of therapeutic particles, biomaterial scaffolds for drug delivery and tissue engineering, and treatment of diseases
- Polymer engineering: thermophysical properties of polymers, polymer process modeling and control, molecular modeling, and molecular scale chemo-mechanics.
- Process simulation: process design, optimization, and analysis; process control; numerical methods
- Surface, interfacial and colloidal phenomena: soft and hard colloids, nano composites, biomimetic coatings, and imaging techniques.
