Research areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, artificial intelligence/machine learning applications in chemical engineering, computational quantum modeling, electrocatalysis, and molecular dynamics.
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering has an outstanding infrastructure for
conducting research. Additionally, several central research facilities exist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, such as the Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience, the Nebraska Nanoengineering Research Facility, the Holland Computing Center, and the Biological Process Development Facility. There are many opportunities for collaborations across the campus, as well as with the University of Nebraska Medical Center; the Center for Brain, Biology, and Behavior; Innovation Campus; and other state and federally-funded research centers and programs. The faculty of the department are funded by a variety of state and federal funding agencies including NSF, DOE, and NIH. In addition, the recent highly prestigious early-career awards, including NSF CAREER, DOE Early Career, and NIH R35 MIRA, show the increasing strength of the department’s research program.
The UNL College of Engineering is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and seeks to
attract and retain a high-performing and diverse workforce in which employees’ differences are
respected and valued to better meet the varying needs of the diverse populations we serve. The
college fosters a diverse and inclusive work environment that promotes collaboration so that all
individuals are able to participate and contribute to their full potential.
