Chemical Engineering (M.A.Sc Ph.D)

Chemical Engineering is the study, application, and practice of using chemical technologies to make products through the systematic manipulation, conversion, and transformation of materials, chemicals, and energy.

This program will provide students with knowledge in a chosen area of specialty beyond the bachelor's degree through a research-intensive program. Students will take courses to enhance technical understanding and complete a research thesis under the supervision of a professor. Students are expected to make world-class contributions to the body of scientific knowledge, participate in the academic process, and dissementate their discoveries through scholarly publications.

Areas of Research

• Biomaterials & Bioprocessing Drug delivery, tissue engineering, biocompatible surfaces, bioseparations, membranes, bioreactors, pharmaceutical processing
• Polymer Science and Engineering: polymer synthesis and characterization, polymer reaction engineering, polymer and particulate processing, paper chemistry, nanotechnology, interfacial engineering
• Process System Engineering and Control: process systems design, process control, optimization, supply chain planning and scheduling, data mining, multivariate statistical methods
• Materials and process modelling computation: molecular modeling, computational fluid dynamics, energy systems, alternatives fuels/energy, waste water treatment, life cycle analyses
