Environmental and Energy Process Laboratory (EEPL)

Welcome to the Environmental and Energy Process Laboratory!

We study complex fluid processing through integrated computational and experimental approaches for environmental and energy applications.
Our work integrates rheology, transport phenomena, computational modeling, multiphysics simulation, and data-driven approaches to enable predictive process engineering for advanced energy and environmental technologies.
Examples of complex fluids studied in our lab include:
- Particle suspension
- Battery electrode slurry
- Fuel cell catalyst ink
- Recycled polymer melt
