About

Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Guwahati

The Department of chemical engineering at IIT Guwahati started functioning in 2002 with the initiation of an Undergraduate program (Bachelor of Technology) in Chemical Engineering. Currently, the Department offers masters as well as doctoral degrees in Chemical Engineering. The Master program in Chemical Engineering is offered in three different specializations, namely, (1) Petroleum Science and Technology (PST), (2) Material Science and Technology (MST) and (3) Computer Aided Process Engineering. In addition, an International Joint M Tech Degree in Food Science and Technology is offered jointly with GIFU University, Japan. The Department has very strong research profile with faculty members engaged fundamental and translational research in conventional as well as interdisciplinary domains ranging from Separation Processes, Transport Processes, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Nanotechnology with applications in Energy, Water and Environment. The Department has state-of-the-art research facilities established through funding from various Government Agencies as well as Industry.
