This research-focused program enables you to undertake original investigations using cutting-edge facilities, research centers, and laboratories. Our faculty specialize in these key research domains:
Biochemical engineering
Biotechnology research encompasses investigations into biodegradation, biofilm formation, bioreactor development, spore drying processes, gasohol refinement, VOC bioremediation techniques, recombinant fermentation methods, along with metabolic engineering and functional genomics applications.
Corrosion studies
Current research combines predictive modeling with experimental approaches to examine corrosion phenomena across diverse industrial applications.
Fluid dynamics
Investigations in fluid mechanics concentrate on multiphase pipeline dynamics, rheological properties, and fluidization processes through both experimental and theoretical approaches.
Reaction engineering
Chemical reaction engineering research explores biomass conversion and waste material transformation into synthesis gas and valuable bioproducts, biodiesel synthesis and applications, catalytic processes for creating high-value bio-products, heavy gas oil hydrotreatment, mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide conversion using carbon catalysts, activated carbon production, carbon nanotube development and uses, as well as renewable energy and chemical production from biomass-derived oils. Additional studies examine catalyst roles in reducing emissions from coal-fired power plants.
Thermodynamic systems
Research focuses on analyzing phase equilibria in industrially significant systems to enhance existing process engineering designs.
