Teaching
ChE I93
Electrochemical Principals & Practice
Introduction to the theory of electrochemical engineering, including electrochemical thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena. Students will learn electrochemical fundamentals and apply them to understand electrochemical phenomena, processes, and devices. State-of-the art electrochemical systems and techniques will be analyzed, such as batteries, fuel cells, and metal electrodeposition.
ChE 342
Transport Phenomena II: Energy & Mass Transport
Applications of the equations of change to energy and mass transport, including in flowing and chemically reactive systems. Heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. Mass transfer by diffusion and convection, including during the presence of homogeneous and heterogenous chemical reactions. Non-dimensionalization and dimensionless parameters in transport phenomena. Mathematical methods for solving transport equations.
ChE 228
Introduction to Chemical Engineering
Introduction to chemical engineering. Conversation equations. Overall and component mass balances with applications to batch and continuous chemical reactors. Introduction to control, chemical kinetics, interfacial mass transfer, and design. Energy balances. A laboratory component brings above concepts into a process system. A computational component emphasizes quantitative modeling of engineering system for understanding and design.
ChE 498/499
Undergraduate Independent Study
Research for course credit. Research generally involves experimental investigations of emerging or advanced battery chemistries, materials, or prototypes, chemical processes for critical materials recycling, or applications of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to systems related to energy or the environment. Theoretical projects related to ion mass transport in battery systems, or the kinetics and thermodynamics of recycling processes, may also be available. All students are mentored by Prof. Messinger and a Ph.D. student from the team.
Summer Internships
Each summer, our team hosts undergraduate students performing 10-week research internships. These internships are typically funded by NSF or NASA. All students are mentored by Prof. Messinger and a Ph.D. student from the team.
