Research Projects

My projects tend to concentrate mostly in the area of Chemical Process Dynamics and Control. I'm interested in the relationships between the physical structure of a process and its dynamics. The goal is to develop control structures that are naturally self-regulating because they take advantage of the configuration of the process.

Teaching

I currently teach Introduction to Chemical Engineering to first semester students, both Transport Phenomena and Advanced Transport Phenomena II, our course in Process Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer, and the Senior Undergraduate Seminar and the Graduate Research Seminar.

In the past I have taught Material Balances and Stoichiometry, Process Control, and Engineering Thermodynamics.

And by the way, I'm responsible for these web pages. What do you think?
