Think Big.Solve Big.

Welcome to the 2023 ChBE@ GT Annual Report. Here, we share stories highlighting activities occurring both on campus and off campus, like our outreach to a local high school where we are inspiring the next generation of STEM innovators with research experiences in “frugal science.”

Our faculty and students continue to excel, garnering prestigious local and national awards. For instance, five of AIChE’s 35 under 35 are GT faculty or alumni, including our own Assistant Professor Alex Abramson. Similarly, in the NSF’s funding competition under the theme of “rules of life”, ChBE@GT faculty captured 25% of the projects awarded nationally.

Research featured in this year’s annual report includes topical areas of historic strength at Georgia Tech. ChBE@GT has the most vibrant program in the country in chemical separations, and recent advances in organic/water separations as well as carbon dioxide capture are highlighted.

Finally, philanthropy continues to play a critical role in facilitating our collective achievements.

Scholarships are opening doors for current and aspiring undergraduate students, graduate fellowships are improving the quality of the graduate student experience, and faculty support is enabling new, high-risk lines of research.

I hope you enjoy this year’s Annual Report, and we hope to see you next time you are in Atlanta!
