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.
Program Delivery
Prerequisites for Admission
Special Application Requirements:
Students interested in the minor are strongly encouraged to confer with their major field advisor and director of graduate studies, and the Chemical Engineering director of graduate studies regarding feasibility and requirements.
For an online application or for more information about graduate education admissions, see the
General Information section of this
website.
Program Requirements
