Our Research

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of South Carolina possesses state-of-the-art facilities, a dynamic faculty, and vigorous research programs, placing our research efforts at the forefront of fields including energy, advanced materials, manufacturing, environmental solutions and medicine. Faculty are addressing problems that align with national and international challenges and are relevant to consumers, industry and government.

Research Strengths

computer modeling

Computational Modeling and Molecular Engineering:

Researchers develop mathematical models that simplify a practical problem so that it can be simulated on a computer, working with systems that range from the molecular scale to simulation of chemical plants.

Electrochemical Engineering Lab

Electrochemical Engineering:

Researchers working in electrochemical engineering study the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy to create better batteries and fuel cells.


Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
