A revolution is underway in biotechnology, medicine, and energy, and Iowa State’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is leading the charge. Our graduate students work hand in hand with our expert faculty to achieve breakthroughs in several areas, including biobased products, catalysis and reaction engineering, biomaterials, and polymeric and nanostructured materials. Our modern labs offer all the tools you’ll need for frontline research in advanced materials, process control, surface chemistry, and computational fluid dynamics.
Our department is home to a National Science Foundation
Engineering Research Center focused on chemicals from
biorenewables. Ames Laboratory, a Department of Energy
laboratory focused on creating materials and energy
solutions, is also located on the Iowa State University
campus.
