Jan ‘06 Ceramic foam monolith catalysts Research wealth for you rese a r c h CENTERS tra ining PROGRAMS Our diverse research is shown through the many dynamic Research Centers that are part of our Department: >Integrative Graduate Education & Research Traineeship (IGERT) provides education across traditional academic boundaries in life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, business administration, and scientific communication. >The Center for Catalytic Science & Technology (CCST) has pioneered multidisciplinary research in the scientific and engineering principles of catalysis. Over the last 3 decades, the Center has provided research opportunities in all aspects of catalysis to more than 300 students and postdoctoral fellows in the academic departments, Chemical Engineering and Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Materials Science, which it spans. >The Center for Molecular Engineering & Thermodynamics (CMET) includes multiple departments and produces research spanning fields from computational chemistry to biological separations. The Center provides state-of-the-art laboratory and computational facilities and fosters collaborative research that combines traditional thermodynamics with cutting edge experimental and theoretical techniques. >Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) program involves faculty from six academic units and allows students to obtain a Ph.D. degree in either Chemistry and Biochemistry, in Chemical Engineering or in Biological Sciences. Research disciplines include: biochemistry, biochemical engineering, bio-organic chemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, virology, bio-analytical chemistry, structural biology, bio-inorganic chemistry, materials science and plant biochemistry. >Institute in Multi-scale Modeling of Biological Interactions (IMMBI) is a DOE-funded program in computational biology and is collaborative with Johns Hopkins and Los Alamos National Lab. teaching FELLOWS Thomas Epps, from the University of Minnesota and postdoc at NIST. His work will contribute to polymer science: synthesis, structure, phase behavior and applications of block copolymers. Each year we select 2-4 senior graduate students to serve as teaching fellows. These are chosen from our most outstanding students who have what it takes to become faculty. As teaching fellows, they serve as co-instructors under the mentorship of an experienced faculty member. The teaching fellow typically delivers one third of the lectures, and participates in all of the other activities of a faculty instructor, from leading recitations to writing and grading examinations. This provides outstanding opportunities for our top students to experience teaching “from the other side of the desk,”. Over the past decade, many of our teaching fellows have gone on to faculty positions across the U.S., and this program has helped to make Delaware one of the top producers of chemical engineering faculty. Graduate study is about so much more than research, and our aim is to develop our students on many fronts. Millie Sullivan, doctorate from Carnegie Mellon with her postdoctoral work at Hope Heart Institute, will study nanoparticle formulations for gene delivery. facult y LINE-UP >The Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Structural and Functional Genomics was established in 2000 around a core group of faculty in the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemical Engineering and Chemistry and Biochemistry. Scientific goals of the COBRE are to contribute to improving the structural basis for the fundamental biological link between genotype and phenotype. facult y BUZZ We’re excited about the arrivals of 2 new faculty. conta c t US Department of Chemical Engineering 150 Academy Street Newark, DE 19716 302.831.2543 www.che.udel.edu Currently, (8) of our faculty are University Named Professors, (2) are Members of the National Academy of Engineering and (11) hold Presidential/NSF Young Investigators/CAREER Award titles.
