Last week’s campus visit by esteemed alumnus Henry Coshburn (MS '64) inspired us to celebrate his continued accomplishments. We are so proud of our alumni during #BlackHistoryMonth, #EngineersWeek, and every day! @pennengineering.bsky.social @columbiaseas.bsky.social linktr.ee/CU_ChemE

Nisha Modi (PhD '25), Raghavendra Nimiwal, Jane Liao, Cindy Li (MS '24), and Professors Kyle Bishop and Allie Obermeyer took inspiration from nature to show how a change in pH forces organic molecules to rearrange themselves. bit.ly/4askScu @columbiaseas.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com

A well-deserved congratulations to @sevahn.bsky.social (BS '14), an alumna of the department and postdoctoral fellow at @genentech.bsky.social, for being named to @forbes.com's 30 Under 30 2026 in the Science category in recognition of her work to better understand, diagnose and treat human disease!

“Rethinking Polymer Additives for a More Circular Plastics Economy” isn’t the only thing Professor Neil Dolinski has done in his two years in our department. 🔗 Read about Professor Dolinski’s research and curricular innovations here: bit.ly/45LNV9w

Research led by chemical engineering prof. Oleg Gang has been selected as a highlight of special note by @departmentofenergy.bsky.social — one of approximately 200 publications recognized annually for special distinction. Congratulations! Read the highlight: https://bit.ly/4scqCix

With 2026 in sight, let’s take a look at three ways in which our students from all degree levels presented their research throughout this past Fall 2025 semester. 🔗Link in bio.

We are excited to announce a new faculty search in Materials Science and Engineering at @columbiaseas.bsky.social! This is an outstanding opportunity for scholars in chemical engineering who want to expand or deepen their work in materials-centric domains. 🔗https://apply.interfolio.com/175837

We are honored to share that @linseymarr.bsky.social of @vtengineering.bsky.social will give the Eighteenth Annual Gaden Lecture. Named after alumnus, former faculty member, department chair, and "father of biochemical engineering" Elmer L. Gaden Jr., it is our most prestigious lecture of the year.

How do you fix nanoscopic leaks? With nanoscopic plugs. Chemical engineer Dan Esposito and his team have developed a new, incredibly thin membrane for reactors that make hydrogen from water. The membranes are highly efficient and made from safer materials. Read more: https://bit.ly/43QXCCl

Can we engineer our way out of global warming? A new study led by @chemecu @vfmcneill finds that solar geoengineering—specifically stratospheric aerosol injection—faces steep scientific, logistical, and political challenges that make it anything but simple.https://bit.ly/47dTvRS
