ChE 244: Heat and Mass Transfer                                                             

This course is an overview of conduction, convection and radiative heat processes, as well as diffusive and convective mass transfer process.  Other topics include the fin equation, Fick’s laws, distributed perameter solution techniques and unsteady-state combined heat and mass transfer. It is a core requirement for Chemical Engineering juniors and Biomedical Engineering students.   Responsibilities included grading weekly homework assignments, holding office hours and assistance with exam proctoring and grading.

ChE 413: Engineering of Soft Matter                                                        

This course discusses materials which undergo a liquid crystal phase transition, the driving forces and equilibrium compositions for phase separations in polymers (Fluory-Huggins and associated theories) and properties of these compounds (storage & loss modulus, interaction parameter, order parameter, nematic & isotropic ordering, micellization and polymerization reactions at liquid-liquid interfaces).
