About this Event

The 22nd Annual ChEMS Research Forum will showcase departmental research advances in the areas of:

  • Energy and Sustainability
  • Nanotechnology and Materials
  • Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering

This afternoon event will be hosted at the STEM Building and will feature invited plenary speakers and extended poster sessions describing the latest department research results.

If you or your company shares an interest in chemical engineering and materials science, then this event offers a uniquely personal and informal view into the general research directions of the ChEMS department, its current research projects, and, most importantly, an opportunity to get to know the many talented graduate students that are at the heart of it all.


Feedback from past Research Forums:

  • "Students were very professional and capable."
  • "Had a great time."
  • "Great event in all respects."
  • "I was very satisfied with the range of topics and technical content of the talks. I look forward to attending events like these in the future."
