Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering - Robotics and Uninhabited Systems

University of Cincinnati

An autonomous or uninhibited system is a robot with little to no interference from humans - it reacts to situations as a human would. Systems that are autonomous are efficient, improve safety, reduce waste, and perform tasks to free up human time. Aside from the everyday tasks an autonomous system can do, extraordinary circumstances are improved too - like a robot that can fill up a satellite with a tank of gas.The Chemical Engineering program offers an average of 35 graduate courses a year in the four research areas of Biomolecular Engineering, Nanotechnology, Energy and Environment, and Separations. The courses include, but are not limited to Air Pollution Engineering, Biotransformations and Biocatalysis, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering Design and Green Engineering, Computational Chemistry and Molecular Modeling, Fuel Cells, Membrane Processes, Molecular Engineering and Functional Nanomaterials, Polymer Systems, Process Dynamics, Control and Optimization, Reaction Engineering and Catalysis for Energy and Fuels, Separation Processes, Tissue Engineering, and Transport Phenomena.
