Dr. Albert Prof. A. Sacco, Jr., is participating in an international biosensor collaboration, "Nanosensors based on Nanomaterials (NANOBIOSENS)" supported by the European Commission via the "International Research Staff Exchange Scheme" (IRSES).
The 4-year collaboration involves exchange of Ph.D. students from France, Turkey, Korea, Canada and the Ukraine. In addition to Northeastern University, the partner universities are the Middle East Technical University (Micro and Nanotechnology Department Central Laboratory) in Turkey, the Université Claude Bernard Lyon (Laboratoire des Sciences Analytiques) in France, the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics of National Academy of Sciences (Laboratory of Biomolecular Electronics) Ukraine, McGill University (Centre for Biorecognition and Biosensors) in Canada and Sogang University (Department of Chemistry Center for Nanomaterials) in Korea.

Dr. Shashi Murthy
Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering
Dr. Shashi Murthy, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, recently received the 2008 National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the most pretigious award in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research.
Congratulations from the Chair, Faculty and Staff of Chemical Engineering on your accomplishment.

Dr. Rebecca L. Carrier
Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering
Dr. Rebecca Carrier, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, was awarded the 2008 NSF CAREER award for her integrated education and research plan entitled, "Mechanistic Studies and Modeling of Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems."
Dr. Carrier's research will shed light on the influence of nanoemulsions, which are used as drug delivery systems and actually naturally exist in the GI tract after food ingestion, on the absorption of drugs and other compounds into the bloodstream. This information could enable the delivery of drugs that may not otherwise be viable products and shed light on the "food effect," a poorly understood phenomenon that influences the oral bioavailability of most drugs. Integrated with this research is a practice-oriented educational plan including graduate co-op experiences, design of an industry-mentored course and development of avenues for other faculty to foster collaborations with Northeastern's industrial co-op partners.
Congratulations from the Chair, Faculty and Staff of Chemical Engineering on your accomplishment.

Dr. Laura Lewis
Cabot Professor and Department Chair
Welcome to the Chemical Engineering Department at Northeastern University. We offer a variety of educational opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. Undergraduate students receive a high quality classroom-based education in conjunction with industrial work experience as part of our top-rated Cooperative (Co-op) Education program. The Chemical Engineering Co-op program managed the placement of 116 students in 35 companies that specialize in Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, Alternative Fuels, Consumer Products and the Oil Industry, to name a few. We even have some students participating in International Co-op, traveling to the UK, France and Switzerland for professional experience.
The NU ChE Department offers degrees at all levels (Bachelor of Science, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy). Our undergraduate program of 212 students (Fall 2008) is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, Inc. ensuring that our program meets the quality standards established by the profession of Chemical Engineering. Our undergraduate student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is very active in many outreach programs, such as the ChemE Car competition. Our graduate program offers students the opportunities to work with outstanding faculty to attain research experience and achieve their career goals in a variety of sub-fields of Chemical Engineering.
Please contact me if you need any additional information.
Princeton Review has rated Northeastern as the best university in the country in providing student with career/job placement opportunities. The Chair, Faculty and Staff of Chemical Engineering congratulate Dr. Behrooz Satvat, Graduate Co-op Director, for his contributions to Co-op job placements and for a job well done.
Dr. Katherine Ziemer has been promoted to Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering with tenure.
Chemical engineering research at Northeastern is supported by two pillars of excellence: advanced materials and the biosciences. Not only will you find any number of fascinating projects in these areas with which you can become involved, but Northeastern is also pushing the limits of possibility with the integration of biological and physical systems by combining expertise from both of our pillars of excellence.
