“I knew [TMU] would challenge me to become an independent researcher capable of applying chemical engineering principles, as well as advanced analytical and experimental techniques, to largescope, open-ended research problems."
Student Profile: Incubation meets innovation
Samin Eftekhari (chemical engineering PhD alumna) developed and patented an absorbable, 3D-printed material that mimics bone and has the potential to revolutionize bone graft surgeries.
Once you’ve made an informed choice about which program(s) you are going to apply to, preparing your application requires careful research and planning.
