SONOCRYSTALLIZATION IN CONTINUOUS FLOW MICROCHANNEL CONTACTORS

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the area of Crystallization & Microprocess Engineering. This project is a multidisciplinary collaborative effort between the Departments of Chemical and Mechanical Engineering at UCL, involving GSK, a major pharmaceutical company, as industrial partner. Bringing together crystallization, microreactor technology, ultrasound engineering and multiphase flow modelling, this transformative research aims to develop a novel, and more controllable, manufacturing technology for the production of particles of relevance to the pharmaceutical industries with better quality and greater reproducibility. The project will provide a unique training opportunity in the emerging areas of microreaction and sonocrystallization technologies.

This project involves three PhD students and one postdoctoral research assistant, working in close collaboration. At present the following PhD position is available. The studentship, fully funded by EPSRC and tenable for 3 years, will be available from September 2012.

Contacts: Dr. Luca Mazzei (l.mazzei@ucl.ac.uk) and Prof. Asterios Gavriilidis (a.gavriilidis@ucl.ac.uk).
