RESEARCH REPORT
2009 - 20010
Preface
The UIC College of Engineering (www.eng.uic.edu) is recognized for its academic excellence with undergraduate
and graduate programs in six academic departments: Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Materials
Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.
The College has 2098 undergraduate students and 1011 graduate students. The graduate student population breaks
down as follows: 541 M.S., 431 Ph.D., 64 MEng (Master of Engineering), and 50 MEE (Master of Energy
Engineering). During 2009 – 2010 we produced 318 B.S. graduates, 178 M.S. graduates, 62 Ph.D. graduates, 36
MEng graduates, and 15 MEE graduates.
The College of Engineering has 114 outstanding faculty including 18 women. 47 of our faculty are Fellows of
societies such as IEEE, ACM, ASME, AAAS, and ASCE; and 24 are recipients of National Science Foundation
CAREER awards or other Young Investigator awards.
The research programs in the UIC College of Engineering continue to grow rapidly and are conducted in all
academic departments and in specific interdisciplinary centers. Our college is actively involved in interdisciplinary
research in the areas of bio-technology, nano-technology, information technology, and infrastructure and
environmental technology. We are committed to performing and disseminating first-rate research that includes both
fundamental engineering scholarship and applied technologies.
During the 2009 – 2010 term of this report, our faculty members have been extremely productive in research. This
activity can be summarized by the following general statistics:




More than $22 million dollars in research expenditures
63 book and chapter publications
340 journal publications and 337 conference publications
62 PhDs awarded
This report provides a snap-shot view of our dynamic research, including specific information on multidisciplinary
research thrust areas and projects, research grants, scientific publications, PhD production, and research awards and
honors.
I invite you to visit our college and department websites to meet our fine faculty, learn about our academic and
support programs and explore the range of cutting-edge engineering research at the UIC College of Engineering.
Please feel free to direct any questions or comments about the college to my staff or me.
Warm regards and thank you for your interest.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH THRUST AREAS
Research in the College of Engineering is undertaken in 6 departments. While each of the
departments has its own research strengths, there is a college-wide focus on the following four
research thrust areas:




BioTechnology
Materials and Nano-Technology
Computing and Information Technology
Infrastructure and Energy/Environmental Technology
The following pages provide a quick view of some of the key research projects associated with
these thrust areas. Each project is presented in the form of a “quad-chart” that highlights the
project’s motivation, technical approach, and key achievements. For a full, interactive view of
current quad-charts organized by thrust area and by academic department, visit the College of
Engineering’s research web page at the following URL:
