The Chemical and Environmental Engineering curriculum is a strategic pillar of the PhD Programme in Industrial Engineering (Cycle 42), dedicated to driving innovation in industrial chemistry and environmental management. The program aims to train high-level researchers capable of addressing complex challenges related to the sustainable transition. Through a multidisciplinary approach, candidates will acquire advanced knowledge to design sustainable chemical processes, manage environmental resources, and develop technologies for pollution control. This path prepares professionals for leadership roles in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, environmental consultancy firms, and public or private research centers.
The curriculum focuses on the innovation of chemical processes and environmental sustainability. Key research areas include:
- Sustainable Processes: Design and optimization of sustainable chemical processes and pharmaceutical engineering.
- Circular Economy: Technologies for the recycling of polymeric materials and waste valorization.
- Environmental Management: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), water management and treatment, and atmospheric pollution control.
- Simulation & Research Tools: Utilization of advanced process simulation software (e.g., gPROMS, Aspen) and access to major scientific databases like Reaxys and Scopus for bibliographic research.
