Our chemical and biological engineering (CHBE) faculty conduct cutting-edge research with real-world applications, providing countless opportunities for students to participate in breakthrough research, including Armour's R&D Program and Summer Engineering Research Immersion Program. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳’s Elevate program also provides research opportunities for students, including some that offer up to $5,000 in support.
Students gain hands-on experience working closely with our faculty, including the following research areas of expertise:
- Advanced Materials
- Biological Engineering
- Energy and Sustainability
- Systems Engineering
Developing Devices for the Future of Diabetes Care
A team of student researchers led by Professor of Chemical Engineering Ali Cinar, director of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳'s Engineering Center for Diabetes Research and Education, is working to ease the burden of insulin management in diabetes patients.
Innovate with IPRO
In ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳'s signature Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program, you'll work with students from various majors to solve real-world problems.
Recent CHBE projects include:
- Auto engines as combined heat and power systems
- Large-scale solar desalinization
- Creating a viable tissue implant for human joints
- Developing a new strategy to detect smuggled nuclear materials
