"The culture of collegiality sets the program apart. CMU ChemE fosters a supportive, enterprising, and lively atmosphere between faculty, postdoc researchers, grad students, undergrads, and staff. Likewise, the community brings together researchers from a variety of sub-fields to enable a cross-flow of ideas. The people from whom I could solicit training on cutting-edge research techniques, or to whom I could give advice on intricate biomodelling systems, were the same people with whom I went to dinner or sledding on a Friday afternoon."
