Professor Liberatore
My mission is to educate students to become creative, industrious engineers and be leaders in rheology and chemical engineering.
A diverse research team drives new discoveries that are primarily shared through publications.
Rheology research: Engineering new materials created or altered by flow. Specifically, our group performs complicated rheology measurements in parallel with other techniques (high pressure, light scattering, high shear, controlled humidity) on a range of polymer, colloid, and surfactant systems.
Engineering education: My classroom and educational research employs active and self-directed learning tools, such as student-created problems that reverse engineering of YouTube videos and interactive textbooks for Material and Energy Balances, Thermodynamics, and Spreadsheets.
