Research Interests
Separation processes, spray drying, and higher education
Chemical Engineering Research Interests
Separation processes for solutions and homogeneous mixtures. Extraction and adsorption processes, including those based upon agents giving specific chemical and size-based selectivity, with applications to recovery of chemicals made by bioprocessing, processing of natural products, treatment of aqueous waste streams, and recovery of chemicals produced by oxidation reactions. Drying processes, including spray drying, freeze drying, morphological changes occurring during drying of drops, and the effects of morphological changes and drying conditions upon retention of volatile flavor and aroma compounds.
Higher Education Research Interests
University governance and operation, technological innovation, scholarly communication, engineering education, and sustainability and mission of public universities.
