Project Description
Montgomery studies process systems engineering with an emphasis on the control and design of industrial
crystallization systems with a specialization in the continuous crystallization of energetic materials
and the polymorphic control of agrochemicals.Within her work, she develops unique experimental
protocols, crystallization systems, and workflows to solve industry-specific problems in crystallization
