The School of Applied Sciences is proud to announce the newest addition to its portfolio of chemical sciences courses – BEng and Chemical Engineering which will be available for entry from September 2014. The course follow on from our BSc Chemistry with Chemical Engineering and BSc Chemical Engineering and Chemistry degrees, providing a full range of subjects across chemistry and engineering giving maximum choice for our applicants.
The new course offers a thorough grounding in all major aspects of chemical engineering, taking chemistry from the bench to the industrial scale in programs that encompass process design, economics, renewable energy, sustainable development and environmental concerns. Along with addressing the evolving field of chemical engineering, these programs are designed according to the requirement of the Institution of Chemical Engineers, licensed by the Engineering Council for accreditation, and provide the key knowledge and transferrable skills that graduates will need in the chemicals industry of tomorrow.
The advent of the new courses is accompanied by the appointment of a new member of staff, Dr Lande Liu (pictured), who has recently joined the department after coming from Manchester. Dr Liu also worked for industry for two years as a consultant before his Lectureship in Manchester University in 2010. He was a Research Fellow in Leeds University for over three years before his industrial experience and worked as a Research Associate in Sheffield University straight after he received his PhD from the same university in 2004.
Apart from extensive teaching experience in core chemical engineering and other multiple disciplinary subjects, Dr Liu also has a strong research portfolio in aggregation kinetics, population balance modelling, ultrasound characterisation and process tomography of continuum/discrete particle-fluid flows with a focus on nanoparticle-fluid systems mainly looking into the interaction of particles from molecular to macro scale to understand the impact of aggregation on bottom-up formation (nucleation) and stability of nanoparticles for innovative process and product design.
