The MPhil and PhD programmes in Chemical Engineering attract students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds such as statistics, maths, electrical engineering, chemistry and physics. You may work on multidisciplinary research projects in collaboration with colleagues across the University or from external organisations.
Research in the School of Engineering is cross-disciplinary and our strategy is to ensure that our research groups grow and provide a balanced portfolio of activities for the future. This is achieved in part through MPhil and PhD supervision.
Advanced materials
Every article, instrument, machine or device we use depends for its success upon materials, design and effective production. We work on a wide range of materials topics including:
Much of our work relates to materials and processes for renewable energy generation, energy efficiency, carbon capture and storage. We also use biological and bio-inspired processes to develop new functional materials.
Achievements
Since 2008 we have:
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.
Achievements
The group's research income since 2008 is approximately £9 million, from a diverse range of funders including the:
Notable grants include an EPSRC Platform grant, involvement in two SUPERGEN projects and an ERC Advanced Grant. The group is also active in a number of areas of EPSRC's recently established Catalysis Research Hub.
We have:
Quality and Ranking
We rank in the top 200 for Engineering - Chemical - QS World University Rankings by Subject 2021.
Working with industry
Industrial involvement is a part of some PhDs and covers a wide range of activities such as:
Facilities
The School of Engineering has a wide range of Chemical Engineering facilities for teaching and research. These include:
