Molecular engineering is about approaching grand challenges from a materials or molecular perspective and designing and testing solutions - using any and all tools and disciplines - from the molecular level up. This is transdisciplinarity at the foundation and guides how research & development is approached and how the next generation of talent is trained.
PME researchers are primed to ask questions and look for solutions with a multi- and transdisciplinary perspective. They are also likely to be better trained to communicate their approaches and outcomes to broad and non-expert audiences due to the training culture and environment.
At the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME), we encourage companies to engage and create new value with:
- Premier talent
- Interdisciplinary solutions from cutting-edge research
- World-class materials characterization and processing facilities
Pritzker Molecular Engineering is a collaborative environment geared toward enhancing corporate innovation efforts, where students are given the keys to incorporate scientific advances and molecular building blocks into tomorrow’s advanced products, materials, and processes.
