Project Description

My visiting research project, cooperated with Prof. Nagy, focuses on monitoring, modeling and control of Industrial Crystallization using process analytical technology (PAT) (e.g. online UV/vis, FBRM, PVM, Raman), feedback control and population balance modelling to achieve desired crystal size ditribution and shape.

My devoted research interest is Engineering Application & Technology Development of Industrial Crystallization. Three topics are of particular interests:
(1) Control and Modeling of Industrial Crystallization
(2) Molecular Dynamics Simulation in Industrial Crystallization
(3) Co-crystallization / Co-crystals.
