Department of

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

We push the knowledge of chemistry forward and utilise the unique opportunities in chemical engineering to protect resources, improve environment, living conditions and global health. The department represents a broad field of fundamental and applied research and education. We are committed to teaching at the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate level.

Versatile research with peak areas

Our research activities range from fundamental chemistry, chemistry at the interface of biology and medicine, materials science, renewable energy, to chemical engineering processing, material recycling, nuclear chemistry, as well as theory and modelling. We have projects and competence that are in the top front in certain areas, and present results that are met with a lot of interest from the surrounding world.

Our research divisions

Innovation and col­lab­o­ra­tion for social impact

The focus for most of our work is to find new solutions that can make a difference and be useful for society. We cooperate with the industry, public orga­ni­za­tions and other uni­ver­si­ties. New innovations and entre­pre­neurs are regularly born from our research.

Education with a bright and green future

The field for work within chemistry and technology is very wide. The subject and competence play important roles in several of our big societal challenges, for example the transition to green energy and industry. The job market for educated engineers within chemistry and technology looks good, both now and in the future.
