Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the largest academic departments in South Carolina. Our faculty's diverse research expertise crosses disciplines, often partnering with other departments and colleges within the university.

Advanced Materials and Manufacturing

Complex and Autonomous Systems

Particulate Matter

X-Phoresis

Our research on particulate matter enables controlled manipulation of particulates in unit operations, such as sorting, separation, and transfer, for applications including healthcare diagnostics and therapeutics, materials processing, manufacturing, environmental detection, and remediation. The research cluster represents a conglomeration of expertise in the use of energy fields for particulate manipulation: acoustic (Saylor), electric (Xuan, Martinez-Duarte), magnetic (Xuan), hydrodynamic (Tallapragada, Xuan), and mechanical (Bostwick).
