Charles Manke

Charles Manke is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Wayne State University. He also serves as the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs.

• Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, University of California at Berkeley
• M.S. in Chemical Engineering, University of California at Berkeley
• B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Oregon State University

Manke's research focuses on mesoscopic simulations of polymer systems and biomolecules, rheology of polymer solutions and melts, polymer processing in supercritical fluids, and environmentally benign manufacturing with CO2-soluble compounds. His work bridges computational modeling and experimental validation in polymer science.

Recent publications highlight his expertise in supercritical fluid applications for polymer processing, phase behavior of organic-CO2 systems, and rheological modeling using dissipative particle dynamics. These studies align with his interests in sustainable chemical engineering and advanced materials.
