AJ Johannes, PhD, PE
Professor

TEACHING INTERESTS:

Dr. AJ has taught all the courses in the Chemical Engineering School with the exception of the undergraduate and graduate courses in Process Control. Most frequently he teaches the junior-level Unit Operations courses, undergraduate and graduate Reaction Engineering, and undergraduate and graduate Transport.  He is currently teaching undergraduate Fluid Mechanics, Rate Ops II (staged separations), and the undergraduate ChemCad Design Course.

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Dr. AJ's area of research, as a result of his checkered background (
see his personal web site), is mathematical modeling. Although most of his work involves modeling in environmental engineering, he also does research in combustion, reactor design, CFD and low temperature plasmas. His current funded research projects include CFD Modeling of Large Scale Combustion Reactors, Production of Ethanol From Switchgrass and Low Temperature Plasma Reactor Design for Destruction of VOC.

Dr. AJ is also a very active Engineering Consultant. He has worked almost every summer in industry since 1984.
