## Program Description

Chemical Engineering is part of a rapidly expanding field that requires interdisciplinary engineers educated in both the molecular and medical sciences. For every discovery made in the health and industrial sectors, a chemical engineer finds a way to develop and implement it on a large scale.

The PhD in Chemical Engineering program at the Tandon School of Engineering prepares students to fulfill that role. Our curriculum offers an advanced course of study to refine students' research skills, and we teach students the problem-solving skills to surmount any problem along the way.

Our PhD program in Chemical Engineering is designed to outfit students with expert knowledge of the field’s core fundamentals as well as the latest research in its subtopics. By doing so, we further students' specialization beyond a master’s degree, helping students achieve superior competence in a minor topic within Chemical Engineering.

### Urban Science Doctoral Track

The optional [Urban Science Doctoral Track](https://engineering.nyu.edu/urban-science-sensing-complexity-informatics-doctoral-track) is specifically designed for students who want to focus on urban science through a cohesive array of in-class and experiential learning activities, while pursuing their PhD at NYU Tandon. Doctoral track students will engage with CUSP’s urban science faculty, experts in methodological aspects pertaining to complexity (dynamical systems, multi-agent systems, network science, and risk engineering), informatics (AI, machine learning, and robotics), and sensing (Internet of Things, smart infrastructure, wireless).
