Facilities in Chemical Engineering
Innovative research requires state-of-the-art experimental and computational equipment. Department facilities are centrally located on campus in Mason and Becton Laboratories. As one would expect of a modern chemical engineering department, our labs are well equipped with instrumentation for analyzing and characterizing surfaces, particles, cells, chemical kinetics, flows, and separations, and with computers ranging from personal computers to high performance workstations.
In addition, the department has unique molecular beam equipment, uv photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometers, and high-speed variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopes, as well as state-of-the-art chromatography systems and a high-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. A high level of research activity across campus sustains other critical facilities: the Becton Engineering and Kline Science Libraries, machine, electronics, and glassblowing shops, transmission and scanning electron microscopes, x-ray diffractometers, as well as the Yale Computer Center.
Chemical engineering graduate students and staff routinely use NMR spectrometers housed in the Chemistry Department's Chemical Instrumentation Center, and thin film and crystal growth equipment housed at the Yale Microelectronics Center.
