Yale engineering faculty are world leaders in research areas of critical importance to solving 21st century problems.
Research areas are primarily organized by department, though nearly every effort includes interdisciplinary collaborations.
Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical Imaging
Biomedical imaging encompasses efforts in magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, nuclear medicine, optical light microscopy and image processing and analysis.
|
|
Biomolecular Engineering
Biomolecular Engineering's express purpose is developing novel molecular tools, materials and approaches that are the focal point of applied and basic research within academia, industry and medicine.
|
|
Drug Delivery
Yale biomedical engineers work to develop alternate strategies for drug delivery, based on physical targeting, or placement of the delivery system at the target site, limiting its activity to that site.
|
|
Tissue Engineering
We are working to develop functional engineered tissues for vascular grafts and arteries, spinal cord repair, liver transplantation, and immune engineering.
|
|
Physical and Engineering Biology
Research is organized around one of the grand challenges for science in the twenty-first century--understanding how molecular, cellular and ultimately human behavior emerges from the myriad of decision events that occur within biological systems.

Chemical & Environmental Engineering
Nanomaterials
Nanomaterials research at Yale focuses on controlling material structure and spatial placement through the synthesis and assembly of new hard and soft materials.
|
|
Interfacial Phenomena
The boundary between two phases, the interface between the phases, has very different properties from that of the bulk phase and are important in a variety of chemical engineering processes.
|
|
Soft Matter & Complex Fluids
Systems whose physical and mechanical properties are comparable to thermal energy at room temperature and thus easily deformed by thermal forces are considered soft materials.

|
Biomolecular Engineering
Biomolecular Engineering's express purpose is developing novel molecular tools, materials and approaches that are the focal point of applied and basic research within academia, industry and medicine.
|
|
Energy
A strong interdisciplinary environment encourages the integration of science and engineering with economics and policy to ensure the sustainable development of new energy technologies.
|
|
Water
Yale’s Environmental Engineering Program is at the forefront of efforts to develop sustainable and culturally appropriate technologies for low quality source water reclamation in the developing world.

Amorphous Materials
Typically, metallic melts crystallize when cooled from above their melting temperature, but some exhibit a low desire and ability to crystallize, hence they don’t crystallize but freeze into a glass during solidification.
