CHEN 3210 - Chemical Engineering Heat and Mass Transfer
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2019
Examines conservation and transfer of mass and thermal energy. Focuses on conduction and convection of heat in the context of chemical processes and heat exchangers. Addresses radiation. Also studies mass transfer rate processes, including diffusion, microscopic material balances, and correlations for mass transfer coefficients.
CHEN 4801 - Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019 / Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Fall 2022
Focuses on the engineering needed to bring therapeutic products derived from living organisms (e.g., proteins, peptides, DNA, RNA) from the production plant to the patient. Covers the challenges of keeping these products "active" as they are stored, shipped, and administered to patients.
