with necessary background for carrying out the research project in the second half of
the program.
2. Research Areas in the Department

The research project involves solving problems of fundamental significance as well as
of industrial relevance. The research areas in the Department may be broadly
summarized in Figure 1shown below.
Page 30
Figure 1. Research areas in the Chemical Engineering Department
a. Biochemical Engineering/Chemical Biology: Faculty are interested in

understanding the protein aggregation mechanisms with regard to disease prevention,
interaction between nanoparticles and biomolecules for the development of nano
medicines and development of medical devices. For their research, they use a
combination of tools ranging from molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, kinetic Monte
Carlo simulations as well as both steady and unsteady coarse grained computations.
b. Energy: Fundamental as well as application oriented research in the area of

transport of heat, mass and momentum invariably need robust computational tools at
various length and time scales. Faculty are working on conduction and convection
heat transfer, microwave heating, droplet microfluidic systems, developing solvers for
multiphase flow systems, mean field and mesoscale computations for reactor design
and optimization, semi-theoretical tools for conventional and non-conventional energy
systems. In recent times research areas have opened up in thin film photo
electrochemical solar cells, thin film solid state solar cells, solar fuels and gas
hydrates.
c. Environmental engineering and waste reduction: The research work

involves liquid and solid waste treatment, air pollution monitoring and control, toxic and
hazardous waste management, removal of color and metal ions from waste water,
recycling of mixed plastic waste, fate and transport of pollutants in environment etc.
d. Process intensification: This relates to development of technologies that are

substantially smaller, cleaner, safer or more energy efficient. Faculty achieve process
intensification either by improving the design or the operation of the equipment. Novel
microfluidic systems, photocatalytic reactors and multiphase systems are being
explored to enhance mass transfer and reaction rates. The focus has also been to
use energy from ultrasound and microwave to intensify processes like solid
dissolution, washing of coal and heating of food materials. Advanced combustion
technologies like oxy-fuel/chemical looping combustion, biochemical processes that
enhance enzyme/oil production and novel methods of synthesizing gold/silver
nanoparticles are also being developed. Computational studies at the molecular and
continuum scales are also carried out to simulate the enhancement of transport and
Page 31
reaction rates in the different processes.
e. Process and Systems Engineering: Using various optimization tools, data

analysis, multivariate statistical analysis including time series analysis, a group of
faculty are involved in investigating undertraining propagation in information theory,
combinatorial chemistry, development of medical devices, particle synthesis and in
designing and controlling water distribution networks. These are accompanied
computations for model developments, process monitoring, fault diagnoses and
network reconstruction. There is also current interest in working towards development
of point of care devices, intensifying processes in microfluidic systems, developing
computational tools for micro-fluidic systems with regard to lab on chip applications
for various bio and pharma industries.
f. Reactions and Catalysis: To elucidate the reaction mechanisms and kinetic

of reactions few of our faculty use computations tools such as quantum chemical ab-
initio calculations, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, classical kinetic
pathway modeling and stochastic population balances. Some applications include
micro-kinetic modeling, complex transformations in oxidation and pyrolysis, gas
hydration nucleation and growth, and nanoparticle formation in micro heterogeneous
dispersed media. Coarse grained MD simulations and mesoscale simulations are
used to fill the gap between the accessible scales in simulations and experiments. On
a larger scale, computations using gradient based transport methods are used to learn
about CO2 capture processes and electrochemical storage.
g. Soft Matter and Phases: With an objective of understanding mesoscale

systems and their behavior, our faculty uses a variety of techniques such as Monte-
Carlo, Molecular Dynamics, Brownian Dynamics, Lattice Boltzmann and continuum
field simulations. With a combination of these tools based on equilibrium and non-
equilibrium approaches, they are involved in investigating the physical behavior of
charged and uncharged synthetic polymers in glassy, melt and solution phases.
Current areas and applications include thermoplastics, polyelectrolytes and polymer-
surfactant mixtures, protein aggregation and disease prevention, nanoparticle-
biomolecular interactions in nanomedicine, pickering emulsions for enhanced oil
recovery, active systems and interfacial flows, complex fluids and rheological
behaviors, microfluidic systems, hybrid materials, colloidal solutions, soft materials
and fluid phase equilibria.
