I am a Second Year MEng Chemical Engineering undergraduate student at Imperial College London. Despite having a bit little experience of research, my current area of interest is the energy and environment sustainability, particularly nanoscale energy transport.
Having uploaded most of the first year contents and formulated extra original contents for reference reading over this summer holiday, my main responsibility now is to refresh the second year wiki according to syllabus and improve it to the same degree of excellency as the first year.
Role: Student Partner
I'm a 3rd year ChemE student here at Imperial, currently studying at MIT on exchange. I completed a UROP with Martin Trusler in the 2021 summer, worked with Andrew Haslam and Pierre Walker over the 2022 summer to produce "An Introduction to Computational Thermodynamics" (see the course here), and am currently a UROP student within the Braatz lab at MIT. I also work with Imperial College London Rocketry, and have general interests in computational modelling of chemical engineering systems.
I previously worked as the 2nd year webmaster, and am currently involved with the WikiSoc where we're aiming to bring the wonders of a department wiki to other subjcts within Imperial. If you're interested, check out the "MetaWiki" at imperialwiki.com!
Please feel free to reach out with any questions, wiki related or otherwise.

I am a Second Year MEng Chemical Engineering student at Imperial College London. I started conducting research in junior school, and I have completed two research projects on energy and environment before coming to IC. I also worked on a process simulation project in the Department. My academic interest lies in developing novel energy materials, as well as functional materials with application in electronics and nanodevices.
My role as a Student Contributor is to make further improvements to 1st and 2nd year Wikis by editing existing content and adding external links that fill up the gaps in our curriculum. The external links either demonstrate shortcuts to understanding the curriculum, or have contents that are related to the curriculum and intriguing in nature.
I am also a blog writer in the Chem Eng Wiki. Through the blog, I routinely communicate latest research in chemical engineering to users of the Wiki. I intend to make academic research interesting to students who feel indifference towards it.

I am a final year Chemical Engineering undergraduate student at Imperial College London, having returned from a year exchange at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I am intending to pursue a career in academia, focusing on the development of predictive molecular modelling tools to handle multi-scale problems relevant to the chemical engineering discipline.
The most substantial and, hopefully, long-lasting work I have done has been the development of this student-led ChemEng wiki. What was initially intended to be a simple peer-learning platform has grown beyond what I could have ever hoped for. I am grateful to Dr. Marsha Maraj and Profs. Klaus Hellgardt and Jerry Heng for supporting this wiki since its infancy, and, more importantly, the amazing work that has been done by the wiki development team. Special thanks go to Thomas Cheng without whom the wiki would likely never have been completed.

I am a Final Year MEng Chemical Engineering student at Imperial College London, with an exchange year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). My primary research interest lies at the interface of biomedical science and chemical engineering. My main goal for a career in research is to develop new technologies to understand disease, and the direct translation from basic discoveries to accessible therapeutics.
Outside academic research, I am also interested in how innovative pedagogical approaches can improve learning experience and knowledge accessibility. Elected as the academic representative of my year group, I introduced student-led pedagogical initiatives such as Chemical Engineering Wiki and tutoring schemes in the hope of enhancing peer learning within the cohort. I am also part of the transformation of experiential learning at the Department of Chemical Engineering using learning technologies such as HoloLens for Technologies-Enhanced Learning.

I'm a Fourth Year MEng Chemical Engineering undergraduate student at Imperial College London. Currently, I am working on reactor modelling for the "wrong-way" behaviour of reactors under Chris Tighe. I have also been involved in the Carbon Capture Pilot Plant, working there over a summer with Colin Hale and learning how to operate the full process.
On the wiki, I am a content creator, most notably for 3rd Year. I wrote nearly all of the 3rd Year wiki, excluding Fluid Mechanics 3 which was written by Charlie Rigby (see below). The key aim when writing was to create a well-presented, organised set of notes that could be easily navigated. I experimented with various macros to make the pages presentable, including Table(s) of Contents. My aim now is to improve the first year wiki to the same level of presentation as third year.

I’m a Third Year Chemical Engineer at Imperial College London. I am currently working on improving education through the use of technology and websites. I have been actively involved as a student researcher in creating the Maths 2 lecture course wiki and am heavily involved in developing the webwork testing platform with its first role out focusing on the maths 2 content.
I have many years of teaching and coaching experience and have taught Leadership, diversity and inclusion courses on behalf of the Union. I have a strong passion for making the everyday more accessible for those with disabilities and believe websites are a great way to do this.
Having created the well-being page on the wiki my focus is not only on the academic provision of my peers but also providing pastoral care to help students orient and feel comfortable in there academic life.

I am a Third Year MEng Chemical with Nuclear Engineering student at Imperial College London. Throughout my study in IC, I have explored and developed a wide range of computing skill sets. In the past year, I have been a student-helper of Professor Muller to create a series of new mini-projects across different subjects for his first-year course Introduction to MATLAB. I was partially involved in Dr. Bhute's second-year mathematics course development, assist him in constructing python deliverables for PDE.
My academic interests lie in developing and promoting safer, greener, and more sustainable nuclear energy. I aim to join one of the research projects offer by CNE (Centre of Nuclear Engineering) in fuel/reactor design and optimization by the start of next summer.
As a member of the student Wiki team, my role is to introduce Wolfram interactive programs to help students visualize and consolidate what they have learned in class. I also help proofread and correct mistakes in second and third-year content. I am responsible for creating and manage the wiki page of ' introduction to nuclear energy' and fourth-year subjects 'nuclear thermal hydraulic', 'nuclear material ' and 'nuclear reactor physics'; these subjects are taught by the department of mechanical engineering, and they are compulsory for students who enter the nuclear stream.
Outside of my academic life, I am also a committee for the Chemical Engineering Society (ChemEngSoc) this year as the touring officer and a reporter for the department magazine Pipeline. I will be conducting a series of feature interviews with start-ups and mid-small tech firms and collaborate with Industrial Relation Officer to promote opportunities for internship, summer/spring projects, and one-day tours/lunchtime talks with these companies.

I am a Fourth Year MEng Chemical Engineering undergraduate student at Imperial College London. I am interested in physics, and intend to pursue a career in academia to do research in a physics-related field by theoretical, modelling and simulation means. In previous years, I worked on various topics in statistical mechanics as an undergraduate researcher in different groups: plasma kinetic theory, thermodynamic modelling, and multi-scale dynamics.
I am aiming to create some new wiki page(s) within next year, which is a set of notes about a more advanced introduction to ODEs and PDEs, and possibly another page on numerical methods for differential equations. These notes are for those who are interested in maths, and/or wish to do research on mathematical modelling or computations. The maths covered in the ChemEng degree can support you to complete the degree itself, but you would likely need more if you do a mathematically involved project.
Outside the department and research, I literally spent all the other "working" time on learning undergraduate level (and some graduate level) physics and maths in the past several years. Now with these knowledge, I am looking forward to contributing on pedagogical matters in ChemEng.

I am a 4th year Chemical Engineering student (2020-21) at Imperial College London. I have been involved in several educational projects during my time at Imperial including; a project which aimed to gamify the VR sessions delivered to the third year undergraduates in the Fluid Mechanics 3 course and more recently a project which involved developing content and considerations regarding the delivery of the Mathematics 1 course delivered to 1st years in the department.
My contribution to the wiki was the Fluid Mechanics 3 notes which I hope will be of use to the third year students in the years to come.

I am Stefan a final-year student who enjoys challenging engineering tasks. As a chemistry tutor, I have a never-ending desire of helping others to consolidate their knowledge. In high school, my biology teacher used to say that one of the best ways for students to evaluate their understanding of a topic is by creating an exam on their own and then take it, and then mark it. That inspired me to develop revision guides in the form of questions. The revision guides are supposed to complement the notes that are already uploaded on the StudentWiki and to assist students in mastering the concepts covered in lectures. I am excited to be joining this project.

I am a final year undergraduate MEng Chemical Engineering student at Imperial College London. As an undergraduate researcher at the university, I have been involved in nonconvex multi-objective optimisation with applications in solvent design with Claire S. Adjiman’s group and bubble-bursting dynamics in liquid-gas interfaces with Matar Fluids Group. I have also recently completed a Research & Development internship at Shell analysing molecular compositions of oils.
As for the Wiki pages, my main goal is to add insight to Chemical Engineering that is not seen in the classroom lectures. Some of the things I have highlighted are the allure of research and healthy study habits through related blog posts. I would also be looking to include more content in the syllabus in the future.
