Who We Are Currently, our faculty are actively leading research into both traditional chemical and energy industries as well as new areas of application and innovation, such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, advanced materials, and sustainable energy. The vision of the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department is to be a center of inspired learning that nurtures innovation, [...]
The complete nucleotide sequence information already exists for the genomes of many organisms, including human. This sequence data is only useful if a researcher can readily (i) access and visualize the data, (ii) connect the data with other sequences and biological data, and (iii) extract meaningful patterns and information. To transform this genome sequence data [...]
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) is a new department, formed on July 1, 2007 with the merger of the Computer Science Department and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, but still a department with a long distinguished history. We offer three academic programs: Electrical Engineering; Computer Engineering; and Computer Science. Each [...]
In 1991, the University of Tennessee (UT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) established the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences (JICS) to advance scientific discovery and the knowledge of computational modeling and simulation, and to educate the next generation of researchers in using computational techniques to address scientific problems. JICS provides a framework for ORNL [...]
The Science Alliance, a Tennessee Center of Excellence established in 1984, has a mission to expand cooperative ventures in research with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and in that process enhance science and engineering research programs at The University of Tennessee. Center research emphasizes strategic areas of importance to both organizations. Materials science, neutron science, [...]
