Research areas include biomedical and biochemical engineering, corrosion and flow in multiphase systems, electrochemical engineering, energy conversion and storage, pollution control, air quality and atmospheric chemistry, and advanced materials processing and polymers. Active collaborations exist with faculty of biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, and civil and mechanical engineering.

Program Learning Objectives

• Apply graduate-level concepts in engineering mathematics, kinetics and reactor design, thermodynamics, and transport phenomena to engineering problems.
• Develop expertise in one or more areas of technical specialization.
• Plan and execute a strategy to test a scientific hypothesis or proposed engineering solution, using prior published knowledge as a foundation.
• Communicate advanced engineering knowledge and the results of novel research and development activities in professional venues.
• Develop habits of collaboration, leadership, initiative, safe performance of work, and ethical conduct.
