Chemical and Biological Engineering

The Howard P. Isermann Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is proud to share that alumna Dr. Camille Bilodeau has been honored with the prestigious AIChE 35 Under 35 Award.

The Daniel I. C. Wang Lecture, previously the Frontiers of Biotechnology Lectureship, was established in 1999 through a generous donation from Dr. Noubar Afeyan to acknowledge the enabling technologies and developments that have sustained the growth of biotechnology and life sciences. Some of these include bioprocess engineering (upstream and downstream processes), bioanalytical developments, advanced and new instruments, novel delivery concepts, biomedical devices, rational drug design, computational methods, bioinformatics, and information technology.

The excellence of the CBE graduate research program was once again on display at Pat’s Barn on August 20, 2026. During the 10th Annual Graduate Student Research Retreat, Ph.D. researchers shared their progress and vision through 17 oral and poster presentations. Spanning advanced separations, material design, synthesis and upcycling, heat transfer, and quantum computing, the presentations showcased both the breadth and depth of our graduate research. If you are interested in participating in future retreats or supporting our program, please contact Ms.
