Our Ph.D. program

Our Ph.D. program trains students to become successful researchers in chemical engineering. Full financial support packages (tuition and stipend) are available.

Our program has three components: research, technical coursework, and professional development. The most important component of the Ph.D. program is research, which is carried out under the guidance of one of our faculty members. Our faculty work in diverse areas, including energy, advanced materials, and biological engineering; detailed descriptions are given in the faculty web pages. The research usually leads to several publications in scientific journals and presentations by the student at professional meetings, and culminates in the Ph.D. dissertation. The technical coursework provides the fundamentals that serve as the groundwork for research, and includes coursework in chemical engineering and other fields of science and engineering. The professional development component includes a course on professional communication, a seminar series featuring speakers from other universities and industry, and teaching experience in undergraduate courses. The detailed program requirements are given here.
