Kansas State University’s graduate program in chemical engineering features highly effective research emphasizing sustainable energy and novel materials.

Graduate students receive excellent financial support, including a nationally competitive stipend ($30,000/year) plus all tuition and fees.

Current research topics include —• Novel materials for infection control applications.• First principles modeling of catalysts and integrated

kinetic models.• Production of chemicals and fuels from biomass.• Nanoparticle catalysts and in situ single molecule

spectroscopy.• Biological interfaces for sensing applications.• Environmental applications of ionic liquids.• Growth of semiconductor crystals for sensing, light

emission and power electronics.• Nanocarbon-supported catalysts for Fischer-

Tropsch synthesis and photo-degradation ofenvironmental pollutants.

• Polymeric nanomaterials for drug delivery.

Professional development opportunities include — • Developing innovative technologies and processes using

state-of-the-art equipment.• Working closely with faculty advisors, multidisciplinary

faculty, graduate student peers and postdoctoral fellows.• Networking with associates and collaborators by giving

presentations at national and international conferences, and publishing studies on their work in prestigious journals.
