PhD in Chemical Engineering- Energy, Environment, and Sustainability in Gainesville United States | University of Florida

We create foundational knowledge and innovative technologies to address growing energy needs while minimizing environmental effects. Current research priorities involve designing highly active and selective catalysts, pioneering novel membrane separation approaches, and developing next-gen semiconductors for energy applications.

The chemical engineering graduate programs (Ph.D., M.E., and M.S.) feature coursework across three key domains: The fundamental chemical engineering core, including three essential courses covering mathematical, molecular, and continuum principles. The chemical engineering systems component, offering courses in transport phenomena, electrochemical processes, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, process optimization, separation techniques, and heat/mass transfer. The specialized research track, allowing students to focus their studies through elective courses from various departments or chemical engineering topics like colloid science, corrosion prevention, polymer technology, advanced materials, and biochemical processes.
