The department of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon hosts a variety of research programs, including some of the strongest anywhere. We identify six focus groups that encompass the many research projects. The groups organize separate seminar series and meetings in addition to the main department seminar. Please follow the links to learn about the groups and obtain quick insight into how the department organizes itself in research:

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.

The department's research labs and computing facilities are housed in Doherty Hall in space that underwent a $27M renovation in 2008. The labs house state-of-the-art equipment for experimentation in many fields and high performance computing. The department adopted an open plan for its laboratories, which reflects the department’s commitment to collaborative as well as individual excellence.

The Department of Chemical Engineering is committed to the highest standard of integrity in education and research. The Department adheres to the Carnegie Mellon University Policy on Cheating and Plagiarism as described in the links in the Navigation menu on this page. Furthermore, the Department recognizes the necessity of an ethical approach to research as described at the link also in the Navigation menu. Students should familiarize themselves with the definitions and principles embodied in the pages found at these two links.”
