The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering seeks to broaden an understanding and to promote the application of basic and applied science. The Department goes beyond the existing scope of chemical engineering to foster leaders in electronics, information, biotechnology, polymer and energy, and environment industries by working hand in hand with various research centers (materials and process technology, plant automation, energy and environment technology, etc.) within the Research Institute for Basic Science and Industrial Technology.
The Department supervises the Supercritical Fluid Group, Bioelectronics Group for biomolecules, and other such project groups. The Department also takes a leading role in a joint collaboration for bio convergence and a project for human resources development in bioelectronics, thereby offering a myriad of learning opportunities and access to profound academic research.
