Project DescriptionI am a first year graduate student in Dr. Zoltan Nagy's group in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. I am currently working on understanding the fundamental mechanism of the spherical agglomeration process. Spherical agglomeration is a novel particle design method which forms agglomerates of crystals in solution. I use mathematical modeling (population balance equations) and simulate the model equations using C, Python and Matlab. My research work involves both experimental work as well as simulations. On the experimental front, I synthesize the spherical agglomerates and characterize them using various characterization equipments like DSC, XRD,etc. My research also includes synthesizing model predictive control strategies to control crystallization processes.
