Engineering the Future
The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) integrates science and engineering to address global challenges from the molecular level up.
We apply molecular-level science to the design of advanced devices, processes, and technologies. Organized by interdisciplinary research themes, we seek to develop solutions to important societal issues and to educate the next generation of leaders in the fast-growing field of molecular engineering.
