Program Focus

The MIPT Engineering center implements "Chemical Engineering: organization of modern production" master's program at the department of "Chemical Physics".

The program is open to bachelor graduates in the field of technology studies who wish to gain experience in chemical engineering: from new materials development to the organization of modern production processes in biochemical, chemical and petrochemical industries.

Master students work in the Engineering center alongside experienced analytical chemists, chemical technologists, and chemical engineers, use equipment of the modern high-tech laboratory and develop professional competencies.

Topics of the thesis works constitute the actual challenges that the existing productions face and the real projects for the biochemical, chemical and petrochemical industries. Master students work under guidance of the leading scientific consultants during the entire educational course.

During their studies, students considering interdisciplinary knowledge, participate in the development of new technologies, materials, methodological procedures, new devices, and equipment, as well as gain experience in the following areas:

• Bioengineering

  Research of living organisms and systems based on advanced technologies and scientific achievements used in resolving medical problems.

• Catalysis

  Research in the field of technologies development for new types of catalysts.

• Chemical safety

  Study of the actual problems of chemical safety, basic concepts, characteristics (Emergency chemical hazardous substance and hazardous substance), development of new materials for solving problems in chemical safety, mastering the rules of the population behavior in the chemical contamination center.

• Colloid chemistry

  Study of the basic laws, phenomena and processes that are typical for dispersed systems.

• Filtration and separation

  Research of the technological processes of various objects and factors cleaning determining filter-separation equipment mode of operation.

• Transfer processes

  Study of various types of liquids flow processes and the processes of physical kinetics arising from these flows.

• Chemical technology

  Study of methods and means of obtaining substances and materials by using physical, physical-chemical, and chemical processes.

  Students have the opportunity to present the results of their research at different conferences in Russia and around the world during their master’s degree program study.

  Upon completion of the master's degree program students are invited to continue their work in the MIPT Engineering center or in one of its partner companies.

Goals and objectives

• Development of fundamental knowledge base for solving problems in the biochemical, chemical, and petrochemical industries.
