PhD in ChE or MSE

The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota has been thriving on its ability to foster interdisciplinary efforts in research and education; most, if not all of our active faculty members are engaged in intra- or interdepartmental research projects. The extensive collaboration among faculty members in research and education and the high level of co-advising of graduate students and research fellows serves to cultivate new ideas and stimulate innovation.
