Research in the School of Chemical and Process Engineering adopts an interdisciplinary and contemporary methodology, combining cutting-edge analytical facilities with advanced physical science techniques. Our comprehensive expertise enables a holistic atoms-to-products strategy in process engineering and design, influencing nearly every industrial field. Pursuing postgraduate research demands commitment and enthusiasm for your chosen discipline, but the rewards are substantial. Doctoral studies present both challenges and immense satisfaction. Students undertake specialized research projects guided by a principal supervisor and additional co-supervisors.
The characteristics of materials employed across diverse engineering fields—including ICT, transportation, construction, environmental management, energy systems, healthcare, and consumer goods—can be customized through scientific comprehension of their fundamental properties. This knowledge enables precise manipulation of morphology, microstructure, and chemical composition during manufacturing processes. Achieving this requires creating and utilizing advanced measurement techniques and computational models to analyze and forecast microstructure-property relationships across various scales, from atomic dimensions to full component levels. Such insights facilitate innovative synthesis approaches to produce desired microstructures that meet specific engineering requirements.
