Sustainability | Energy | Environment | Process Engineering

Meeting human needs while addressing and adapting to challenges posed by environmental change, resource depletion, and ecological deterioration is among the grand challenges facing humanity.

Circular economy of plastics
Bakshi Group

Research in CBE:

  1. Directly addresses technological problems related to using or creating energy effectively (Asthagiri, Fan, Getman, Ho, Ozkan, Paulson, Sangoro);

  2. Investigates problems related to environmental issues (Getman, Ozkan, Wyslouzil);

  3. Considers the broader problems of process engineering and sustainability (Bakshi, Paulson);

  4. Investigates energy harvesting from electromagnetic waves (Wang).
