Résumé

Project Description

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Purdue University, and I expect to earn my degree in December of 2017.
My research focuses on model-based operation of robust and effective pharmaceutical processes. My project includes the development of a dynamic model of an integrated continuous tableting process (CTP). I am also investigating the use of novel real-time measurement tools to monitor this continuous tableting line. Finally, the design of a robust supervisory plant-wide control scheme is also needed for this project; which includes simulation and experimental validation of the control system.
