Research activities in the department vary widely, covering most pressing areas in the chemical engineering field today.
Dr. Zhongyang Wang, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering, was selected as an awardee of the Inspiring Generations of New Innovators to Impact Technologies in Energy (IGNIITE) 2024 program....
Four professors at The University of Alabama received one of the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious honors for early-career faculty.
Drs. Steven Weinman and Stephen Ritchie recently represented the College of Engineering at the 2024 Emerging Researchers National (ERN) Conference in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in Washington, D.C....
Research efforts are concentrated in biotechnology; computational; polymers and soft materials; electronic materials and devices; and energy and the environment.
One of the biggest assets to the department is the 25-foot-tall distillation column, located in the high-bay area of Bevill.
One of only a few of its kind, this $105,000 glass tower was donated by alumnus Ralph Lewis, vice president of sales of Texaco, and the Texaco Corp. Students gain first-hand experience with its controls, design and operation. In the 1,200-square-foot high-bay area, students work with a gas chromatograph, reaction vessels, a computer-controlled batch still interfaced to a Camile data acquisition and control system, and a steady-state glass still. Students spend a good portion of their summer Operations Laboratory performing experiments with the distillation column.
