Faculty Feature:
Assistant Professor Yayuan Liu
“I believe chemical engineers can play a pivotal role in tackling sustainability challenges. Given the seriousness of the climate issues at hand, I feel the responsibility to contribute to finding viable solutions as an engineer and a global citizen.”
Named one of MIT Technology Review’s 35 Innovators Under 35, Liu is developing new methods that make carbon capture more universally accessible and climate friendly by replacing the thermal mechanisms with electrochemistry reactions.
The Liu group designs and synthesizes materials at the molecular and the microscopic level, develops novel electrochemical processes using functional materials, and uses advanced characterization tools to correlate microscopic phenomena with macroscopic performance.
Co-Op Master’s Path with the
Institute for NanoBioTechnology
The Institute for NanoBioTechnology collaborates with major industry partners to offer a Cooperative (Co-Op) Education program for master’s students in chemical and biomolecular engineering.
For six months, students gain work experience, network, and build technical and non-technical skills that prepares them for a competitive job market.
