The department of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon is home to a wide variety of research programs, including some of the strongest in the country. The many research projects are loosely grouped into the areas of:

BIO - Bioengineering,

The research environment in the department is extremely collegial. Many faculty collaborate with colleagues in the department, with colleagues in other departments and with groups outside the university. Students are often co-advised by two faculty members and laboratories and equipment is shared freely.

Most of the department's research labs and computing facilities are housed in Doherty Hall while additional facilities are maintained in Roberts Engineering Hall and in the Pittsburgh Technology Center. The labs house state-of-the-art equipment for experimentation in many fields and high performance computing. Doherty Hall is scheduled to undergo a $27M renovation beginning in 2006 that will transform the research infrastructure into a state-of-the-art facility.
