Bioprocessing and food engineering

Research groups

• Gras research group

  We work on a broad range of bioengineering research problems from the nano to the large scale.

• Algal Processing Group

  Developing new science and technology related to the processing of algal biomass to biodiesel and bioproducts.

• Chen Research Group

  Our research bridges fundamental separation science and membrane engineering to develop sustainable processes that address critical challenges at the food-water-energy nexus.

• Dagastine Research Group

  We focus on the fundamental nanoscale interactions between the interfaces particles, drops and bubbles to develop new insights on the macroscopic scale in material properties and processing.
