Professional Interests
Before joining the faculty at the University of Pittsburgh in 1960, Dr. Chiang worked as a project engineer with the Union Carbide Corporation. He has been active in international education and served as a visiting professor at several leading foreign universities including: Cambridge University, England; Santa Maria University, Chile; and National Central University, Taiwan, ROC. Currently, he holds an Honorary Professorship at the Nanjing University of Chemical Technology, People’s Republic of China. He received the 1999 McAfee Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

Professor Chiang is one of the nation’s leading experts in separation technologies. His recent work focuses on:

Fluid/particle processing and separation

Development of a multi-stage loop-flow flotation column (MSTLFLO process) and its applications to environmental and energy systems

Pilot scale testing of a liquid carbon dioxide-based technology (LICADO Process) for soil remediation and fine coal cleaning

Hydrodynamic and kinetic modeling of fluid-particle systems
