- Structure and rheology of complex fluids
- The local rheology of bioengineering materials, such as tissue engineering scaffolds
- High-throughput applications for systems where screening and optimization of rheological properties is of importance
Professor Breedveld’s teaching interests include foundational and advanced courses in chemical and biomolecular engineering, with particular emphasis on transport phenomena at undergraduate and graduate levels. Recently taught courses include CHBE 3205 (Fluid Mechanics), CHBE 3215 (Heat and Mass Transfer), CHBE 6200 (Advanced Transport Phenomena) and CHBE 4200/4210 Unit Operations Lab.
