Nanoscience and technology today is an emerging research area that aims at developing new generation of materials and devices engineered at the nanoscale for ground breaking properties and functionalities for diverse applications such as drug delivery, diagnostics, electronics, cosmetics and catalysis.

Research in Biosystems Engineering is primarily focused on the following themes namely,
(i) Biomimetic Engineering (ii) Engineered Nanoparticles for biological applications (iii) Computer Aided Product and Process Design (iv) Systems Biology.

The Catalysis and Reaction Engineering group at the Chemical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur is actively involved in understanding the science and engineering across different length and time scales for various environmentally friendly catalytic processes.

Complex fluids are multiphase systems comprising of a continuous phase and a dispersed phase. Typical examples include polymer solutions and melts, colloidal suspensions, emulsions, foam, etc.

Several of our faculty members are involved in doing fundamental research using theoretical and numerical tools. Some of the examples involve like understanding cell biology.

Today energy and environment are arguably the two principal challenges facing mankind in its quest for sustainable development. Obtaining energy in an environmentally ..
