About This Podcast
In this podcast we speak to researchers in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London and learn about what they're working on and its relevance in the world around us. Our podcast is for everyone, scientists and non-scientists alike! Listen to us if you want to find out what chemical engineers do, how they ended up in their field of research and what their work means for society. The podcast, previously hosted by Ben, is now being taken over by Diya, a PhD student from the Department of Chemical Engineering.
