A team led by Hopkins engineers has developed a method to convert organic waste into medium-chain carboxylic acids (MCCAs)—crucial ingredients in industrial lubricants, bioplastics, food additives, and personal care products. The new technique offers a sustainable alternative to current MCCA production methods that pose major environmental and economic hazards, such as destroying rainforests.

17 student representatives from the department attended the conference

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering PhD candidate Anastasia Georgiou is one of five Johns Hopkins University students named a 2025 Siebel Scholar, an honor that recognizes students in bioengineering fields for exemplary achievement in academia, research, and leadership.

Johns Hopkins engineers create responsive minuscule materials that dynamically reconfigure based on chemical signals

A team led by a Johns Hopkins doctoral candidate has developed a new technique using electricity to drive a chemical process that removes climate-damaging carbon dioxide from the air. They describe their approach, which unlike many previous electrochemical carbon capture methods operates in the presence of oxygen, in Nature Energy.

The award will support Vo’s research on synthetic polymers.
