Chemical Engineering
A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU 抖阴传媒在线 mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists a more realistic way to study cells and disease.- Dunphy's research involves studying interactions at the atomic level to design more efficient catalysts for polymer upcycling, an innovative approach for converting plastic wastes into valuable products, such as jet fuels.
Thad Sauvain (ChemEngr鈥91) credits his own time at CU 抖阴传媒在线, where he earned a BS in chemical engineering, with helping him thrive both as an engineer and as a LGBTQ+ individual.
Heath Briggs, co-chair of Greenberg Traurig鈥檚 Global Patents and Innovation Strategies Group, is a chemical engineer, a registered patent attorney and has more than 19 years of patent prosecution experience and 10 years of AIA trial experience.
Kevin Seibert is a technical VP with Eli Lilly and Co. and holds a BS in chemical engineering from the 抖阴传媒在线, as well as MS and PhD degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan. He has over 30 years鈥 experience working in small and medium molecule syntheses for both Merck and Eli Lilly. Seibert has been responsible for the process development and optimization of many early and late-phase products and led the technology transfer, validation and launch of several marketed compounds.
Chemical and biological engineering senior Arianna McCarty has earned the prestigious Churchill Scholarship, becoming just the fourth student in university history to receive the honor. The award will support a year of master鈥檚 study at the University of Cambridge, recognizing her exceptional research achievements and academic excellence.
Meet the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering's newest faculty, Assistant Professors Cody Ritt and Antonio Del Rio Flores.
Chemical and biological engineering researchers have created shape-shifting microparticles that change their shape in response to environmental factors for self-directed propulsion and navigation.
A CU 抖阴传媒在线 team has invented a sound-wave technique that softens dense tumors so chemotherapy can penetrate more deeply. The discovery could boost treatment effectiveness and make cancer therapies safer for patients.
The recognitions reflect Coleman's work as a teaching assistant for six classes; his strong academic performance鈥攊ncluding three graduate-level classes鈥攁nd his research, where he served as first author on two papers stemming from his undergraduate thesis. It also reflects his time spent as a ChBE student ambassador.
