Program

We offer a broad range of research opportunities at Chemtech that apply traditional chemical engineering principles and modern fuel and energy technology & science to solve some of today’s most pressing problems. 

We are using novel experimental methods and advanced scientific computing to understand nanoparticles, macromolecules, complex fluids and active surfaces. Understanding their behavior allows us to design new catalysts, polymers, electrodes and other materials. We are working on catalysts for converting biomass to liquid fuels, electrocatalysts for fuel cells and conducting fibers for environmental management.

We recognize that each student has different strengths, scholarly interests and career aspirations. Every MSc and PhD student is mentored by a research advisor who can help provide tailored opportunities for conference presentations, networking, publishing scholarly articles, learning how to teach and grant writing. Students graduate from Chemtech prepared to excel in their professional careers. Degree milestones, expectations and responsibilities are shared with students during orientation and again regularly each year.
