Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering

Biointerfacial phenomena: preparation of interfacial coatings that will impart safe, efficacious function to implantable biomaterials; drug formulation and delivery strategies; and enzyme activity in the adsorbed state. Bioengineering ethics: professionalism; bioethics; and social ethics in engineering. Recruitment and retention of folks from traditionally underrepresented groups in engineering: K-12 outreach; and examination of difference, power and discrimination in engineering education and practice.
