Mechanistic modeling, simulation and optimization of particulate processes.

Particulate processes involving handling of solids is ubiquitous in various
industries and is typically operated inefficiently due to a lack of adequate
mechanistic process understanding. One of the primary application of such
processes is found in the pharmaceutical industry involving manufacturing of
solid dosage forms (e.g. tablets).

This work focuses on improved mathematical modeling of such particulate
processes using the population balance modeling framework. One of the
primary objectives deal with model development for granulation followed by
development of improved numerical techniques for reduced computational
overheads associated with the solution techniques for solving population
balance models.

The insights from this work is believed to make a significant contribution
towards improved understanding of the particulate processes and the current
inefficient operation of the downstream manufacturing process can be
mitigated. This work is highly multi-disciplinary and successfully combines
concepts from various spheres of science, mathematics and engineering.
