Hugo S. Caram

Hugo S. Caram is a Professor in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Lehigh University. He focuses on understanding granular material flow in process industries (e.g., mineral, pharmaceutical) and optimizing reaction engineering via reverse-flow reactors. His lab is located at the Whitaker Laboratory on Lehigh's Packer Campus.

Education:

• Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota
• B.S. from the University of Buenos Aires

Professor Caram’s research spans granular material dynamics, reverse-flow reactor applications for process efficiency, and reaction engineering innovations in ceramics processing (e.g., RBAO). His work addresses industrial bottlenecks through experimental and theoretical approaches.

His laboratory at the Whitaker Laboratory Room 262 serves as a hub for collaborative research in sustainable energy and process engineering, as indicated by related news coverage.
