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, biofilms, bioreactor development, spore drying, gasohol refinement, VOC bioremediation, recombinant fermentation, along with metabolic engineering and functional genomics.
Corrosion
Current research combines predictive modeling with experimental analysis of corrosion phenomena across diverse industrial applications.
Fluid mechanics
Both experimental and theoretical fluid mechanics research concentrates on multiphase pipeline dynamics, rheological properties, and fluidization processes.
Reaction engineering
Chemical reaction engineering research explores biomass and waste conversion into synthesis gas and valuable bioproducts, biodiesel production, catalytic processes for bio-product enhancement, heavy gas oil treatment, carbon catalyst applications, activated carbon production, carbon nanotube development, and renewable energy generation from biomass. Additional studies focus on catalytic solutions for reducing emissions from coal-based power generation.
Thermodynamics
Investigations focus on phase equilibrium in critical industrial systems to enhance process engineering methodologies.
