ChemEngUP PhD Graduate Program
Officially established in 1994 and its scope is to train new students in all modern areas of Chemical Engineering and related disciplines that can support the research activities of the department.
Enrolled PhD students have the opportunity to work in a unique and stimulating academic and research environment, and perform world-class research work.
Research projects
Graduate students profit a lot from interactions with other researchers both from academia and industry in Greece and abroad through their heavy involvement in national, international and industrial research projects. Our current graduate student population consists of about 75 full-time students. Our graduates consistently obtain employment in outstanding academic and industrial institutions.
Low graduate students - faculty ratio
A unique aspect of our PhD graduate program is the low graduate students - faculty ratio in the Department, approximately 3 to 1, which permits close interaction between students and faculty – a critical component of the graduate experience in our Department.
Funding
Most of the PhD students receive financial support in the form of a scholarship or a fellowship through their participation in competitive national and international research projects. These scholarships last from 3 up to 5 years and, in addition to helping PhD students cover the cost of their living plus reasonable expenses during their studies at UPatras, cover their travel and participation fees in national and international conferences, workshop and meetings in order to present their own research work and achievements.
PhD Program Areas
Enrolled PhD students have the opportunity to work in a unique and stimulating academic and research environment, and perform world-class research work in a Department with international reputation in areas such as:
- Atmospheric pollution and climate change
- Transport phenomena
- Catalysis, electrochemistry, surface science
- Plasma technology and nanotechnology
- Materials science and technology
- Process control, process design, process optimization
- Biocatalysts, Biotechnology, biomolecular engineering, environment
- Theory and mathematical modeling
- Simulation of materials and complex fluids
