Bioengineering is a discipline that applies engineering principles of design and analysis to biological systems and biomedical technologies. Bioengineering research includes bacteria engineered to produce chemicals, targeted drug delivery, portable disease diagnostic devices, and technologies for interfacing with tissues and organs.
Sustainability is often conceived in terms of three dimensions: environmental, economic, and social. Research and development of sustainable and environmental topics aims to advance access to clean and safe water for drinking and other uses, as well as safe, economic, and sustainable ways to produce, process, and store energy.
Surface layers, that is, the thin layers of a substance at the boundary of bodies, mediums, or phases, have a different excess free energy that forms the special features of the layer’s structure and composition. Research in this field focuses on manipulating surfaces or colloids and using them for a wide range of engineering applications.
Research and development of advanced materials and devices focuses on novel materials and nanomaterials for various electronic, optoelectronic, polymers, and energy harvesting applications. Development of advanced materials require an interdisciplinary approach, and aims to achieve unique devices that solve real-world challenges.
Process engineering is the understanding and application of the laws of nature and fundamental principles that allow us to transform raw material and energy into useful products. By taking advantage of the driving forces of nature such as pressure, temperature, and concentration gradients, as well as the law of conservation of mass and energy, in process engineering we develop methods to synthesize and purify useful desired products.
