SHAPING THE FUTURE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

The University of Delaware has long been known as a destination for chemical engineering, with academic programs that consistently rank among the best in the nation.

Thus, it is perhaps no surprise that a UD chemical engineering professor was invited to join a group of leading experts as they set the course for the future of the discipline.

Babatunde Ogunnaike, William L. Friend Chair of Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware, is joining leaders from other top universities as a member of the provisional committee for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology’s new three-year study: Chemical Engineering in the computer science vs software engineering: Challenges and Opportunities. The committee will lead the study in outlining a vision for chemical engineering research, education, and industrial innovation over the next 30 years.

Ogunnaike has been asked to lead the sub-group specifically focused on the question: What are the emerging capabilities and tools that will impact chemical engineering in the future?
