PhD student Parham Rohani is pursuing ideas that could bring a
hydrogen generating device to your car and prevent your lithium-ion
battery from wearing out. He has also launched a company, which he
hopes will bring these concepts from lab to market.
The finding that the embryonic gene Nanog reverses aging in
adult stem cells may lead to treatments for atherosclerosis,
osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Congratulations to our 2017 PhD graduates!

Our department had the honor of awarding commemorative statues
to our newly-minted PhDs for 2017. We are proud of you!
A study from the Andreadis lab yields neural crest cells from
adult skin cells, and could lead to new treatments for
Parkinson’s and other brain illnesses.
Funded by the U.S. DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewalble Energy
Office, this project aims to develop advanced catalysts and
membrane electrodes assemblies to revive reversible AMFCs in
stationary energy storage.
The goal of this project is to develop a portable, low-cost and
energy-efficient nanomembrane patterning scheme, using laser-chip
“stamp”, to achieve excellent antifouling properties
for wastewater recovery and reuse.
The goal of this project is to develop facile miniemulsion-based
approaches for the preparation of well-defined CPNCs for various
applications, such as evasion of multidrug resistant cancer
cells and drug-gene co-delivery.
The unique chemical and physical properties of graphene make it
one of the most promising materials to be used as an advanced anode
in rechargeable LIB (lithium ion battery) systems.
NGTs (nitrogen-doped graphene tubes), are used as an advanced
support to boost Pt cathode performance for proton exchange
membrane fuel cells, which holds great promise to meet the US DOE
2020 metric targets for fuel cell vehicle applications
Development of next-generation programmable electrical
stimulation devices to enable unprecedented treatment for chronic
wounds, bone regeneration and peri-prosthetic (implant) infections.
This new smart ES device technology will accelerate healing and
increase patient mobility, decreasing the need for clinician
intervention.
We’re working on ways to accurately compute macroscopic
(“big”) properties using first-principles physics
applied to “small” simulations involving just two,
three, four, etc. molecules at a time.
The AIChE undergraduate student chapter looks for chemical
engineering professionals to visit campus each month to talk to
students about careers in cheme or touring plant facilities.
Your support is vital to our success, providing the difference
between funding what is necessary and what is possible. Donors
allow bright, hard-working students to fulfill their dreams and
complete their degrees through scholarships and fellowships.
