Biochemistry Environmental Sciences
All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields:
These topics serve as the "common language" for all three disciplines.
Transport Phenomena: The study of momentum (fluid mechanics), energy (heat transfer), and mass transfer.
Thermodynamics: Energy balances, phase equilibria, and chemical reaction energetics.
Reaction Engineering: Design and optimization of reactors for chemical or biological processes.
Process Control & Dynamics: Using sensors and mathematical models to maintain stability in a system.
Material and Energy Balances: The fundamental accounting of inputs, outputs, and accumulations.
Focuses primarily on the large-scale production of chemicals, fuels, and materials.
Separation Processes: Distillation, absorption, extraction, and membrane filtration.
Petrochemical Engineering: Refining crude oil and natural gas processing.
Polymer & Materials Science: Synthesis of plastics, composites, and advanced nanomaterials.
Process Intensification: Making chemical plants smaller, safer, and more efficient.
Catalysis: Developing substances to speed up chemical reactions without being consumed.
Applies engineering principles to living systems and biological materials.
Bioprocess Engineering: Large-scale cultivation of bacteria, yeast, or mammalian cells (e.g., for vaccines).
Metabolic Engineering: Modifying genetic pathways to produce specific chemicals or biofuels.
Biomedical Engineering:
Tissue Engineering: Growing replacement organs or scaffolds.
Pharmacokinetics: Modeling how drugs move through the human body.
Bioinformatics: Using computational tools to analyze biological data (genomics/proteomics).
Food Engineering: Processing, preservation, and packaging of food products.
Focuses on protecting human health and the environment through technical solutions.
Water & Wastewater Treatment: Design of systems to purify drinking water and treat industrial/municipal waste.
Air Quality Engineering: Monitoring and controlling industrial emissions and particulate matter.
Solid & Hazardous Waste Management: Remediation of contaminated soil and landfill engineering.
Sustainability & Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Quantifying the environmental "footprint" of a product from "cradle to grave."
Hydrology & Water Resource Management: Managing the distribution and quality of groundwater and surface water.
This is where the three disciplines overlap to solve complex global challenges.
