Microchemical Systems

The design of micro-scale devices for chemical transformations is an important field.  Our laboratory has special interest in high-pressure sub-cooled device design, high-throughput data-driven chemistry, microfluidics designed with in-situ analytical methods, and catalytic microplasmatrons. Such novel reactors can facilitate process intensification of research at the laboratory scale, but they can also be designed for the manufacture of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and crystalline materials.  Each brings with it unique challenges in fundamental reactor design principles.
