The research in the Chemical and Biological Engineering department addresses some of the world’s most pressing technological challenges—from energy and sustainable development to advanced materials, food and pharmaceutical production, biotechnology in general, and human health. The department's annual research expenditures total more than $6 million. More than 300 undergraduate students and 65 graduate students are currently enrolled in the Department. Faculty have access to world-class research facilities and an atmosphere that promotes interdisciplinary collaborations. The Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies supports world-class research and facilities that brings faculty from engineering and science together to at the interface between science and engineering. Our new Center for Engineering and Precision Medicine, a collaboration between Rensselaer and Mt. Sinai in New York City is engaged in both fundamental and translational biomedical research. The New York State Center for Future Energy Systems conducts fundamental and applied research to accelerate the development of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies. The Center for Materials, Devices and Integrated Systems aims to advance next-generation electronic and optical devices, manufacturing and robotics, integrated biomaterial devices, energy harvesting and storage, electric transmission/distribution, responsive and adaptive built environments, and nanostructured composite materials. The Center for Computational Innovation and the Scientific Computation Research Center house one of the most powerful computers for AI applications - the Artificial Intelligence Multiprocessing Optimized System (AiMOS). The Institute for Data Exploration and Applications and the Experimental Media and the Cognitive Immersive Systems Lab provide new and exciting opportunities to manipulate and experience data and cognitive computing.
