Joe Mmbaga

Joe Mmbaga serves as a Teaching Professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering within the University of Alberta's Faculty of Engineering. He actively teaches core undergraduate chemical engineering courses across multiple academic terms.

His research and teaching expertise centers on fundamental chemical engineering principles with emerging applications in data-driven methodologies:

• Fluid dynamics of Newtonian and non-Newtonian systems
• Equilibrium-stage separation processes including distillation and membrane technologies
• Integration of machine learning for process optimization and analytics
• Chemical plant design with safety and economic considerations

Professor Mmbaga's instructional focus bridges traditional engineering theory with modern computational approaches, particularly evident in his development of courses like Process Data Analytics and Machine Learning that incorporate deep learning and statistical modeling for industrial process improvement.
