“For millennia, people have been fascinated by transparency and invisibility, which have inspired philosophical speculation, works of science fiction, and much academic research,” Atrouli Chatterjee, lead study author and doctoral student in chemical and biomolecular engineering at UCI, explained in a statement.
Historically, the field of chemical engineering has had a long and rich tradition as one of the core engineering disciplines, built on a solid foundation in chemistry, physics, and mathematics. However, with the maturity of the chemical process industry, chemical engineering is no longer concerned only with flow in pipes, solution chemistry, chemical reactions, and unit operations. Instead, the past decade has seen a revolution in the field, characterized primarily by an increased interest in applying chemical engineering tools and analytical skills to study highly-interdisciplinary problems involving complex systems (e.g., in biotechnology and biological systems) and molecular-level phenomena (e.g., in microtechnology and nanotechnology). Since its inception in 2019, UC Irvine's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has directed its attention on cutting-edge problems beyond the scope of traditional chemical engineering, a trend now mirrored in most major academic institutions around the world.

The department offers M.S., M.Eng., and Ph.D. degrees in civil and environmental engineering. Faculty members have interest and research expertise in four primary areas: hydrology and water resources systems; structures, geotechnics and materials; transportation systems and environmental and energy systems. Each area has unique degree requirements detailed in the CEE Graduate Handbook.

No. The GRE test is not required and will not be reviwed for the Fall 2024 admission application.
We welcome every alumnus to be involved with the department, whether it's a continuation of current involvement or the rekindling of a relationship with CEE@UCI. We warmly welcome you to share your experience, knowledge and expertise with current students.
You have the opportunity to be an integral part of the CEE@UCI mission to provide students with a broad, fundamental and flexible educational program and to expand engineering knowledge through an active and exciting undergraduate and graduate research program.
Alumni support of CEE@UCI is accomplished through:
The department has nearly 30,000 sq ft of laboratory and office space in the Engineering Tower. There are extensive facilities for research. The existing laboratories feature highly instrumented and computer-interfaced bioreactors, a peptide synthesizer, ultracentrifuge , UV-IR spectrophotmeter, high performance liquid chromatograph, gas chromatograph, supercritical fluid extraction device, compact equipment for spray atomization, MTS servo-hydraulic system, and UNIX workstations with state-of-the-art software. Students and faculty also have access to University wide resources including high performance computing (C3840 CONVEX computer with 2 gigabytes of physical memory). In addition, the newly formed materials characterization Center (MC2) provides excellent facilities, including optical, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and metallography facilities, for microstructure and microchemical characterization of materials.
A third lever Biden could pull would be to create infrastructure that can move hydrogen, perhaps by repurposing the existing natural gas system, said Jack Brouwer, director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California, Irvine.
