The Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Kanpur is ranked among the
nation's top schools, built by exceptionally dedicated faculty committed to
cutting-edge research and rigorous student training. Our mission is to
prepare engineering graduates to be leaders in industry and society by
developing their technical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with a
focus on serving society. Our programs provide an interdisciplinary
foundation to address complex engineering problems.
We conduct research in core chemical engineering areas like fluid
mechanics, thermodynamics, separation processes and controls, as well as
interdisciplinary fields such as Materials & Nanotechnology, Biotechnology &
Bio-systems, Catalysis & Reaction Engineering, Complex Fluids & Soft matter,
Advanced materials for Energy and Sustainability and High-performance
computing. We are launching initiatives to enhance technical skills and apply
them to real-life problems, leveraging machine learning and data science for
advanced computational training.
Experimental research in the department is supported by consecutive high-
value DST FIST grants, providing us with state-of-the-art facilities. These
include a High Resolution Field Emission Microscope, Scanning Tunnelling and
Atomic Force Microscopes, an Ellipsometer, Rheometers, an Inductively
Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer, Optical Profilometer and several other
advanced facilities.
We offer a vibrant learning environment, fostering collective efficacy among
our faculty and a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and academic
integrity. We take pride in our alumni, who have received prestigious national
and international recognitions, including the National Science Medal,
membership in the National Academy of Sciences and Engineering (USA), the
National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the Infosys Prize, the Shanti
Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, the TWAS Prize and more...
