Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering- Catalysis and Reaction

University of Houston

Catalysis, the process of increasing the rates of reactions in addition to engineering reactions to produce biofuels and other products is an area of research excellence for our faculty. They continue to discover improved catalysts and chemical processes and develop a better understanding of molecular level of reaction phenomena. Understanding of multi-functional reactors and their use in energy and environmental applications, including membrane reactors, and adsorptive reactors have intensified chemical processes, improved their safety and reduced their byproducts.
