At the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago, we prepare researchers and engineers to solve complex, real-world challenges through an interdisciplinary, problem-driven approach. Our work spans emerging fields such as quantum engineering, immunoengineering, and materials for sustainability. PME offers a collaborative environment where companies can engage with cutting-edge research, connect with exceptional talent, and build lasting innovation partnerships.

Ways to collaborate with PME  

  • Partner with undergraduate or master level students on applied engineering challenges for capstone projects.
  • Offer internships and externships for students at your company.
  • Engage PME researcher as consultants on short-term, focused projects.
  • Access advanced research facilities and instrumentations for testing and development.
  • Form industry-university partnerships with faculty on federally funded translational research initiatives.
  • Leverage PME's partnerships with national laboratories like Argonne and Fermilab for expanded research opportunities.
  • Connect with talent through networking events, career fairs, and on-campus engagement.
  • Advance through executive education with certificate and master's degree programs.
  • Build connections across UChicago's broader innovation ecosystem, including Booth.
  • Explore emerging horizon 2-3 technologies to strengthen innovation and competitiveness. 

We believe the most impactful partnerships are built on shared goals. PME is committed to working with industry to accelerate discovery, cultivate talent, and bring innovation into practice.
