Research Interests
Although I no longer have a formal research program, we have continued development of our "Multimedia Encyclopedia of Chemical Engineering Equipment" CD. Other material developed by our Multimedia Education Laboratory includes "Engineering Fundamentals in Biological Systems" and "Material and Energy Balances." Visit the lab web page, http://che.engin.umich.edu/mel/MEL_HOME.html for more information on these educational materials.
