Program Overview
Overview
Our MPhil and PhD in Chemical Engineering attract a diverse range of students. These are usually from disciplinary backgrounds such as:
Our research
Research in the department of Chemical Engineering is cross-disciplinary. Our strategy centres on investigating novel processes, materials, and concepts that can deliver transformational routes for a sustainable and circular economic framework.
We work in a range of sectors that include:
We investigate solutions for relevant health, environmental and material problems.
Advanced materials
Every article, instrument, machine or device we use depends on its success upon:
We work on a wide range of materials topics including:
Much of our work relates to materials and processes for:
We also use biological and bio-inspired processes to develop new functional materials.
Process intensification
Process intensification is the philosophy that processes can often be made smaller, more efficient and safer using new process technologies and techniques, resulting in order of magnitude reductions in the size of process equipment. This leads to substantial capital cost savings and often a reduction in running costs.
