Abstract:

Particle technology is affecting our daily life without us noticing it. Many products of our daily life, ranging from instant coffee to pharmaceuticals and even medical analysis (such as antibody or antigen tests that are currently in the media for Covid-19 detection) rely on well-engineered particles. Hence, particle technology has its well-earned place in chemical engineering research for reasons explained with several examples in this talk.

Presented by:

Dr Maximilian Besenhard, Postdoctoral Researcher at UCL Chemical Engineering.

Maximilian Besenhard earned his MSc in Technical Physics where he studied nano-porous metal structures. He then completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering with a focus on continuous processing via tubular reactors at Graz University of Technology. After several years as a scientist at Siemens CT and the Research Center Pharmaceutical Engineering, he joined the University College London in 2016 as a postdoctoral research associate. His research combines computational and experimental process development with in-situ characterisation to efficiently bridge the gap to artificial intelligence.
