Dear members and friends of the UF chemical engineering community,   It’s Spring graduation time and we are thrilled about the successes of our students and faculty this semester. Once again, many of our students graduated with honors in Spring 2025. This is just the beginning of their new journey, and we wish them all […]

Congratulations to Carlos Rinaldi-Ramos, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Dean’s Leadership Professor at the University of Florida, who was recently elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). The honor, awarded at AIChE’s annual conference in San Francisco, recognizes Rinaldi-Ramos’s outstanding service to the profession and his significant […]

American Association for the Advancement of Science honors 19 UF faculty as Lifetime Fellows The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society and publisher of the Science family of journals, has elected 19 faculty from the University of Florida to its newest class, breaking previous records for the […]

A University of Florida chemical and biomedical engineering researcher has received three grants that will use a novel type of imaging to advance research on cancer immunotherapy treatment and brain injury. The studies aim to provide researchers and clinicians with key insight into how patients with cancers such as refractory brain tumors respond to immunotherapy […]

The application of nanoparticles as diagnostic and therapeutic agents has been of great interest over the last few decades. Understanding the diffusion of nanoparticles in biological environments is critical in their design and eventual clinical application. However, there is incomplete understanding of nanoparticle diffusion in synovial fluid, the fluid inside the joint, which consists of […]

Researchers at the University of Florida are using colloidally stable nanoparticles and magnetic cryopreservation agents (mCPAs) to extend the preservation time of donor organs. Currently, the preservation time window ranges from 4-36 hours depending on the organ. This time window severely restricts the time for adequate donor-to-recipient matching and the distance over which transplant organs […]

As the world was closing down because of the global pandemic, the faculty at the UF Department of Chemical Engineering was coming up with new ways to continue delivering the same high-quality education while remaining physically distant.  As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention.  The challenge: juniors and seniors in chemical engineering […]

The Hawaiian bobtail squid is a glowing example of aquatic symbiosis. It stands out as a unique cephalopod that lives with a light organ run by a luminescent bacterium, or microbes. The bacterium allows the squid to use light as camouflage against predators. A team of researchers has received a $550,000 grant by the Gordon […]
