Grants and Contracts Details
Description
To design and operate the bioprocessing facilities of the future, engineering professionals
must be trained in all disciplines involved in bioprocessing" The proposed graduate
fellowship program includes well-rounded coursework, challenging research, and relevant
interactions with industry" Course work will encompass fundamental bioprocessing,
industrially relevant, and additional engineering and science topics" An Advanced
Bioprocessing Colloquium will enable students to gain an in-depth understanding of the
diverse topics within bioprocess engineering. Some specific topics will be fermentation
strategies, product recovery and purification, process control and automation, economics, and
good manufacturing practices. In addition, laboratory experiences will provide hands-on
experiencein bioprocessingand instrumentationon a pilot-plantscaJe. Dissertationbased
research will focus on biomass conversion, bioseparations such as foam fractionation, and
optical sensor design for use with fermenting systems. Students will interact with industrial
contacts during monthly seminars and gain real-world experience through industrial
bioprocessing internships.
