CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
32052	Online	AM	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	n.a.	Mironenko, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Predictive Models & Atomistic Section Info: Predictive Models and Atomistic Simulations: Modern computational methods have opened up new possibilities for predicting novel catalysts, materials, and molecules using computers, offering an alternative to the traditional approach of "trial-and-error" experimentation. This course provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge advancements and theories that underpin these computational discoveries. As part of the course, students will gain practical experience in writing computer codes to make predictions about the properties of model molecules, chemical reactions, and liquids. Meets with CHBE 494 AM. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
66636	Lecture	BAH	9:00AM -9:50AM	MWF	1002 Lincoln Hall	Harley, B Kim, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Tissue Engineering Section Info: Special Topics: Tissue Engineering. Meets with CHBE 475. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
69434	Lecture	CES	11:00AM -11:50AM	MWF	3217 Everitt Laboratory	Sing, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Statistical Physics of Polymer Section Info: TITLE: Statistical Physics of Polymers. This course will introduce fundamental concepts in polymer physics, with an emphasis on developing and applying concepts in statistical mechanics to describe equilibrium properties of polymer solutions and melts. The goal will be to learn foundational principles in polymer conformations, rooted in random walk statistics, and then use these concepts to explore a range of problems in polymer structure and assembly. Concepts to be covered include single-chain conformations, polymer scattering, Flory-Huggins theory and phase behavior, polymer field theory, adsorption and interfaces, and polymer self-assembly. ChBE 321 or an equivalent undergraduate thermodynamics course required. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
44876	Lecture	DS	3:00PM -4:20PM	TR	207 Psychology Building	Cho, Y Shukla, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Data Science for Chem & Eng Section Info: Meets with CHBE 413 Data Science for Chemistry and Engineering and CHEM 452 Data Science for Chemistry and Engineering and CHEM 590 Data Science for Chemistry and Engineering. This course serves as an introduction to data-driven and machine learning techniques in chemistry and chemical engineering. Surveyed topics will include standard regression and classification algorithms, neural network architectures, unsupervised learning, clustering, molecular featurization techniques and best practices for machine learning. The course serves as a practical introduction to these techniques in Python using existing chemical datasets. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
69170	Lecture	PHA	9:00AM -9:50AM	MWF	329 Davenport Hall	Burcham, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Pharmaceutical Engineering Section Info: Pharmaceutical Engineering. Course focuses on the development and manufacture of small molecule pharmaceutical products. The course will cover solid oral dosage forms, sterile formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredients produced by traditional synthetic chemistry approaches. Intellectual property considerations, as well as regulatory requirements constraining the industry are considered. The class follows the pathway from molecule discovery through the development of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, formulated drug product and the commercial manufacture of both the drug substance and the drug product. Meets with CHBE 494 PHA. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
32048	Lecture	TS	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	106B1 Engineering Hall	Qiu, Z Schoetz, T	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Electrochemical Engineering Section Info: Electrochemical Engineering. Meets with CHBE 453 TS. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
66635	Lecture	YD	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	1302 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Bairagya, P Diao, Y	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Functional Materials Assembly Section Info: Meets with CHBE 461. Topic: Functional Materials Assembly. Covers fundamental principles and industrial applications of self and directed assembly from molecular, nano-, to macro-scale in all classes of materials, in particular molecular and polymeric materials. Topics include meta-stable liquids, solution phase chemistry and kinetics, interfacial stability, interfacial free energies, nucleation theories, crystal growth, aggregation and other phase separation mechanisms, grain growth and grain boundaries, defects formation, flow-induced assembly and aggregation. Lectures will also introduce application of these fundamental principles in the production of a broad range of materials, such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, food products, electronics and solar cells. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
