• Research Spotlight: Chemical Engineering

    The College of Engineering is excited to host a Research Spotlight: Chemical Engineering event on May 16, 2023, at 10:00am ET.  We’d love to see you there. As a Research 1 university, Northeastern University students are exposed to some of the highest-quality research offerings in the United States. In this webinar, our Chemical Engineering faculty […]

  • Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Kevin Van Geem

    010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    Due to our increasing awareness of the impact of climate change on our society, unit operations in our manufacturing processes, including those in chemical industry, have to be greenified and made less dependent of fossil resources.

  • Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Burcu Gurkan

    010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    This presentation will highlight the impact of solvation, ionic interactions, surface adsorption, and hydrogen bonding and transfer on interfacial structure, redox reactions, and catalytic mechanisms in particular for CO2 electroreduction.

  • Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Haotian Wang

    010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    In this talk, using CO2 reduction to gas and liquid products and O2 reduction to hydrogen peroxide as representative reactions, I will introduce the rational design of both catalytic materials and reactors towards practical electrochemical manufacturing of fuels and chemicals.

  • Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Cameron Abrams

    010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    In this talk, I will trace my group's history in using molecular dynamics simulations to investigate conceptual links among molecular architectures, intermolecular interactions, and network structures and how they determine thermomechanical properties of polymerized materials that these applications demand.

  • Chemical Engineering Spring Seminar Series: Professor Hongfei Lin

    103 Churchill 103 Churchill Hall, 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    In this seminar, I will showcase our groundbreaking biphasic tandem catalytic processes, achieving exceptional carbon-atom efficiencies in converting renewable biomass into biofuels.
