Concepts
Department of Chemical Science and Engineering has been
established in April of 1992 as the amalgamation of the "Department of Industrial Chemistry"
and the "Department of Chemical Engineering" by reorganization of the Faculty of Engineering, Kobe
University. The faculty members are engaged in education and research in the fields of Applied Fine
Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Chemistry, and Biomaterial and Bioprocess Engineering.
The overall mission of Department of Chemical Science and Engineering is to foster
the next generation of researchers and engineers of chemical engineering on a
global scale by education and research to meet the needs of industry and
society in general. The research and educational activities in our department
cover the fields of fundamental science on the microscopic and molecular level,
addition of specific functionality to chemicals and materials, engineering
applications of biofunctional materials, engineering applications for preparation
of materials and process development, and material production in industrial
scale.
