Graduate students and faculty working together to reach common goals — that partnership is at the heart of the University of Tennessee's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. It's a partnership that works, creating exciting and productive research in three major areas:
- Biomolecular Engineering
- Nano- and Micro-structured Materials
- Sustainability Engineering
These research programs reach out to other engineering and science departments, to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and to industry, forming larger partnerships and creating an unsurpassed research environment.
The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department participates in two interdisciplinary campus programs focused on sustainable technologies for energy conversion; SEERC, the Sustainable Energy and Environment Research Center and an NSF-sponsored graduate training program, STAIR, Sustainable Technology through Advanced Interdisciplinary Research. In addition, our department is a participant in CIRE, the Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education graduate training program. CIRE offers a concentration in ESE for students pursuing doctoral studies in CBE. Graduate students will join interdisciplinary research teams at ORNL and UTK.
The University of Tennessee and its College of Engineering are creating new models of cooperation among universities, research laboratories, and industry. These partnerships create exceptional research opportunities for graduate students in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
