Section of Chemical Engineering (Esbjerg)

The section focuses on research within areas of energy, environment and materials based on chemistry, physics and physical chemistry. In addition, the section performs mathematical and statistical modeling of transport and transformation processes. Specific focus areas are oil and gas, environmental decontamination, composite and adhesive materials, drinking water and biomass conversions. Read more ...

Section of Environmental Engineering (Aalborg)

The section's research comprises the analysis and solution of environmental problems using modern methods and technology. Some of the key issues are the protection of health, resources and environment by combining the knowledge of physical, chemical and biological processes. Read more ...

Biology (Aalborg)

Aalborg University has a long-standing tradition for teaching and research in biology-related topics within microbiology, biotechnology and environmental technology. In 2008, a biology programme was established based on these strongholds (BSc and MSc). Read more...
