(2cw) Chemical Systems Engineering for Water Solutions & Bioproducts Manufacturing

My background

I am an innovative and research-driven scientist with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and demonstrated experience in supporting ongoing research and intelligence to develop sustainable solutions in the chemical industry. I draw upon expertise in data science and systems engineering to conduct research to create new bioproducts & water solutions technology with the goal of achieving a specific application for chemical engineering. I committed to proposing for funding research & development programs, adhering to all protocols, practices, and regulatory compliance. I also seek to leverage expertise in Chemical Engineering Project Management, Systems Engineering, Analytical Chemical Engineering, Biomaterials Characterization, Linear and Nonlinear Programming, and Engineering Data Analysis to support execution of key initiatives, driving research program goals within a progressive organization.

My interests in basic research in chemical engineering and applied research in bioproducts manufacturing

In order to advance regenerative engineering, there is a need for basic need for water solutions research as well as further research on the chemical engineering aspects on advanced materials sciences, and stem cell sciences, for regeneration of complex tissues and organ systems. Also to address the process safety needs in the chemical, pharmaceutical and petroleum industries, students in the laboratory should always be involved in safety inspections, process FMEA, failure analysis and PHA for them to experience and impart a culture of safety for everyone.To further applied research projects in bioproducts manufacturing, researchers in the group would also have an opportunity to get involved in sustainability evaluation tools for their innovative work towards greater sustainability. Furthermore, chemical engineering researchers should also receive support in their professional development to be working in scientific, applied and professional entrepreneurship innovation and creativity.

Teaching interests

With digital and remote learning as a platform for blended learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, technical competencies can be taught and self-learned in modules (posted on Moodle, for example) and videos for lectures and demonstrations. Mentoring remotely and modules for hands-on laboratory demonstrations can be modified to match a survey to evaluate the learning styles of the students. The classroom assessment techniques that appeal to active and visual learners would be on-line quizzes, in-class discussions and hands-on demonstrations. Heuristics in educating these students in STEM and non-STEM majors would be appealing to the sequential or methodical learners who want a series of logical steps in solving a problem or following a laboratory procedure for executing an experiment and data analysis.
