Martin S. High
Associate Professor

TEACHING INTERSTS:

Marty’s teaching interests focus on thermodynamic and transport phenomena applications in chemical engineering particularly to macromolecular systems.  He has taught most of the undergraduate level courses and many of the graduate level courses in our curriculum.  In addition, Marty has initiated the College wide program involving Legal Studies in Engineering (LSE).  For more information on the LSE program click here.

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Polymer Science and Engineering

Marty is interested in all aspects of chemical engineering. A few years ago, he worked in process monitoring and control of a chip carrier manufacturing process at IBM. Since then, he has been heavily involved in applied thermodynamics. More recently, he moved into the area of the thermodynamics of polymer systems. Marty's current research revolves around the study of polymer physical chemistry and applied polymer science. In particular, he is interested in the transport and thermodynamic properties of gases in polymers, polymer solutions, and polymer blends. One of his group's more interesting experimental approaches uses a quartz crystal as a highly sensitive balance to measure the transport of solvent into a polymer film. Marty's teaching interests include transport phenomena, thermodynamics, process dynamics and control, and polymer science and engineering.
