The executive bodies of the school are the dean and the academic committee.

The school is led by the dean. The dean appoints the vice deans, the heads and vice heads of the school's departments, as well as the directors of the degree programmes and the doctoral programme. The dean participates in cross-school cooperation within Aalto, aimed at enhancing the implementation of Aalto's strategy.

Other permanent or temporary groups may also be involved in the school's governance.

The school's governance is organised so that different personnel groups as well as students have sufficient opportunities to participate in the preparation of decisions.

• Jouni Paltakari serves as the vice dean of education.
• Mari Lundström serves as the vice dean of research and innovation.

Departments

The basic unit for the school's academic operations is a department, which conducts academic research and offers degree education connected to its research. Teaching is organised as educational programmes.

Each of the school's three departments is led by a head of department:

Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems (BIO2)
Head of department Lauri Rautkari

Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering (CMET)
Head of department Rodrigo Serna

Department of Chemistry and Materials Science (CMAT)
Head of department Lasse Murtomäki

Research at the departments is conducted in research groups. You can find more information about research groups at the School of Chemical Engineering by visiting the departments' websites.
