Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
A Department of the School of Engineering and Applied Science
Energy and Environmental Engineering
Chemical engineering plays a pivotal role in increasing energy efficiency, developing more renewable energy resources, and decreasing the deleterious effects of chemical processing and energy conversion. Ongoing research project in these areas in the department include the development of highly efficient fuel cells and electrolysis cells for energy conversion, catalytic routes for the production of both hydrogen and fuels from biomass and bio-ethanol, and optimization of the growth of silicon crystals for use in solar cell production.
