内容简介：
【简介】 The aim of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology is to be one of the world's leading institutions in both the teaching and research of chemical engineering and technology.
Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology at Imperial College London is the largest such Department in a U.K. University. It is also the only one to have been awarded the highest rating, 5-star, in the 1996 Research Assessment Exercise. They attribute their success to the wide range of skills and expertise of their academic staff and the strategies they use to deploy these in understanding and solving fundamental problems related to industrial processes, defined in the widest possible way. Their interests range from the microscopic - e.g. molecular organisation and interactions - to the megascale - e.g. design and optimisation of whole distribution networks. Their expertise lies both in mathematical analysis and modelling as well as in experimental investigation and in both they deploy, and indeed often devise themselves, the most up-to-date methods.
They work with the Chemicals, Oil and Gas, Pharmaceuticals and Processing Industries in a variety of collaborations and interactions.
The extensive and wide ranging research in the Department has been grouped into six programmes:
ACRE Applied Catalysis and Reaction Engineering BSE Biological and Separations Engineering CFS Combustion, Fuels and Safety MET Materials Engineering and Technology MFS Multiphase Fluid Systems PSE Process Systems Engineering
Each is organised by a Programme Co-ordinator and these, collectively, form the Research Committee - the group that provides strategic advice to the Department on all research matters. Many staff will be members of more than one programme, and much collaborative work is undertaken between the programmes - e.g. modelling expertise from PSE with experimental work in BSE.
