Kawajiri Lab Research Spring 2012

The Kawajiri research group specializes in modeling, process design, optimization, and bioseparations (chromatography). We are looking for undergraduate researchers who are interested in pursuing the following projects over multiple semesters. If you are interested, please send (1) your CV (2) expected graduation date and (3) the project you are interested in to Prof. Kawajiri (ykawajiri@chbe.gatech.edu).

Project descriptions:

1.    Optimization of simulated moving bed chromatography model using MATLAB
 
Simulated moving bed chromatography is a widely used separation process in the food, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries.We will develop a software package for this process using MATLAB. 

Eligibility:

 1. Completed or currently taking CHBE 3200 Transport Processes I.
 2. GPA over 3.2 preferred.
 3. Interested in pursuing this project for credits in Spring or Summer 2012, and continuing it for further credits or pay.

Graduate student supervisor: Gaurav Agrawal (gaurav@gatech.edu).

2.     Experimental study of simulated moving bed chromatography

In this project, the student will develop a mathematical model that describes SMB chromatography. The student must be interested in mathematical modeling of separation processes.

Eligibility:

 1. Completed or currently taking CHBE 2120 Numerical Methods.
 2. GPA over 3.2 preferred.
 3. Interested in pursuing this project for credits in Spring or Summer 2012, and continuing it for further credits or pay.

Graduate student supervisor: Jason Bentley (jason.bentley@chbe.gatech.edu)
