PhD scholarship in Continues Crystallization - Chemical Engineering

Opportunity summary

Are you a motivated PhD candidate who wants to help shape the future of crystallization in the pharmaceutical industry. In this project, you will work at the interface between chemical engineering, process technology, and industrial pharmaceutical manufacturing. The aim is to develop and test continuous crystallization-in-flow concepts that can make production of intermediates more robust and efficient. You will explore how flow-based crystallizers can improve control of crystal quality, purity, particle size distribution to interface with downstream handling by filtration and washing. The project combines literature insights and experimental work, with a particularly strong focus on equipment development in close collaboration with H. Lundbeck. The work may include batch experiments, flow experiments, online and offline analysis, proof-of-concept testing, process optimization, and scale-up considerations. You will contribute to solving real challenges in pharmaceutical production, where small improvements in crystal properties can have major impact on quality, cost, and manufacturability. The project is suited for a candidate who enjoys experimental research, process understanding, hands-on equipment development, and translating scientific insight into practical technology1 …
