Throughout the Research Luncheon Series, faculty of the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering and invited guest speakers from both academia and industry, present their research topics for the benefit of current and prospective graduate students, alumni, and chemical engineering professionals. During each luncheon, speakers give a 30-40 minute presentation, immediately followed by a question and answer period. The Department provides free pizza and soda from Valentino's. Typically there is no need to RSVP, however, pizza and pop are first-come, first-served. Interested students of any major, faculty, alumni, and members of AIChE are all encouraged to attend.
