Cambridge University - Chemical Laboratory - Surface Science and Heterogeneous Catalysis
http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/CUCL/#K
"The work of this group ranges from fundamental studies of the structure and dynamics of solid surfaces and the interaction of gases with these surfaces to the development of novel catalysts for industrial processes. The fundamental work covers the development of new spectroscopic, structural and dynamic techniques -- involving lasers, STM, holography, supersonic beams, ultrasensitive IR emission spectroscopy, etc. -- and the application of this arsenal of techniques to study bond making and breaking processes at surfaces. The experimental programme is strongly supported by theoretical and computational work. This includes new developments in surface structure determination, the ab initio modelling of surface processes using gradient-corrected Density Functional Theory, and molecular dynamics modelling. Work on the development of novel catalysts is closely linked to the fundamental developments and ranges from fundamental studies of catalytic mechanisms on single crystal model catalysts to thedevelopment of new high area catalytic materials. The work is strongly supported by EPSRC and by industry, and the group also runs ESF and EC funded collaborative projects with colleagues in European laboratories."
Carlsberg Laboratory - Center for Solid Phase Organic Combintorial Chemistry
http://mail.crc.dk/spocc/
"The Center for Solid-Phase Organic Combinatorial Chemistry (the SPOCC Center) was officially opened 16 January 1998 and is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The aim of the Center is to initiate and develop a substantial program in general combinatorial organic chemistry primarily on solid-phase. The chemistry is directed towards combinatorial drug design, particularly in the field of inhibitors for proteases."
Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology

"CIIT is located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Founded in 1974, CIIT is a not-for-profit toxicology research institute dedicated to providing an improved scientific basis for understanding and assessing the potential adverse effects of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products on human health. CIIT is supported by 36 major companies and the Chemical Manufacturers Association."
Chenguang Research Institute of Chemical Industry
http://www.chenguang-chemi.com/
"Chenguang Research Institute of Chemical Industry, as one of 500 Largest Enterprises in Chinese Chemical Industry, has been engaged in researching and producing polymers and synthetic materials since 1965. We mainly deal with technical development, application research and production of silicones,fluoropolymers, special resins and adhesives, machinery for plastics processing, and anti-corrosion chemical equipments, etc."
College of Petroleum and Energy Studies
http://www.colpet.ac.uk/
"The College of Petroleum and Energy Studies (CPS) is an independent institution based in Oxford, offering a comprehensive range of management, economics and business courses for professional and managerial staff working in the international oil, gas, petrochemical and energy industries. Founded in 1982, The College has established itself as a leading international centre for the provision of flexible training courses and Continuing Professional Development programmes. The College is recognised in the UK by The British Accreditation Council. Management of the Oil, Gas and Energy industries is complex, capital intensive and highly technical. Changes in environmental regulations, technology and know-how, combined with the need for developing managerial, technical and economic skills requires professional high-quality training."
Cooper Union - Molecular Monte Carlo
http://www.cooper.edu/engineering/chemechem/monte.html
"This page, sponsored by the Cooper Union Department of Chemistry, is meant to serve as an international information resource for those who use "random walks" (stochastic methods) to simulate and analyze molecular systems. You will find links to hypertext tutorials on Monte Carlo methods here as well as software repositories and other information. Although Monte Carlo methods are used in a dizzingly diverse number of ways, in the context of molecular computations there are five types most commonly encountered. There are many variations on these basic themes in the literature. For example, molecular dynamics is often coupled to stochastic engines to provide rapid thermalization. Then there are Nose walks, Brownian dynamics...you get the idea. The results of "Molecular Monte Carlo" calculations can be used to predict thermally-averaged structures, molecular charge distributions, reaction rate constants, free energies, dielectric constants, compressibilities, heat capacities, phase transition temperatures - just about anything."
Cornell University - Fluid Dynamics Research Group
http://www.cheme.cornell.edu/PeopleEvents/researchgroups/fluiddynamics/
"The flow of fluids in multiphase systems has always been a major interest for chemical engineers. The school's research in this area is diverse, including blood flow in capillaries, transport of contaminants in groundwater, the dynamics of geothermal reservoirs, methods of enhanced oil recovery, processing of fibrous composites, and spin-casting of metals."
Curtin University--Chemical Engineering
http://www.curtin.edu.au/curtin/dept/chemeng/first.html
"Academic Staff of the School of Chemical Engineering undertake a wide range of fundamental and applied research. The outcomes of this research have short to long term impacts in the chemical, mineral, petroleum and manufacturing industries, and on the environment. The research activities are supported by well equipped experimental, pilot trial, workshop, computing and instrumentation facilities. These facilities are in turn maintained by a well skilled technical staff."
