Cutting-Edge Research
Even as an undergraduate, you'll have the opportunity to partner with faculty on investigative research projects for exciting topics, publish papers with peer-mentors, and present your research at national and international conferences.
The research areas of chemical engineering faculty include water purification, gas separation and greenhouse gas capture, critical elements recovery, novel drug discovery and synthesis, cancer immunotherapy, and modeling and simulation.
These research areas are supported by National Science Foundation (NSF), American Chemical Society Sponsored Petroleum Research Fund (ACS-PRF), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Alzheimer’s Association, W.W. Smith Charitable Trust, Clinton Global Initiative and Ivanhoe Foundation.
