Design, Model and Assemble a Multi-Temperature Chemistry Reactor

In this project, you will use your design and prototyping skills to make a multi-temperature reactor array. Utilising your mechanical, thermal and electronic engineering skills and engaging with a multi-disciplinary team, the working prototype will make a factor change to the exploration of synthetic chemistry for drug discovery. The reactor will use a combination of different materials, geometry, and control engineering to generate different heating zones for chemical reactions.

You will be innovating reactor designs that are essential for expanding the scope of chemistry that can be executed on a liquid handling robot.

You will design, model, and select the best prototype for construction of a working prototype. This project combines computational tools with practical hands-on experience, where you will use the reactor you helped build to test chemistry performed at different temperatures.
