UIUC’s ChemE MS integrates molecular simulation, catalysis, and process-systems engineering to decarbonize chemicals and fuels. Students may compute CO₂ adsorption in MOFs with quantum Monte Carlo, run pilot bioreactors in the Integrated Bioprocess Lab, or train reinforcement-learning controllers on Aspen Plus models. Industry-sponsored projects with Dow, LanzaTech, and Argonne position graduates for impact across energy transition and biotech manufacturing.
