Our research is in applied mathematics and control theory and its application to manufacturing systems where the control of events at the molecular scale is key to product quality.
Some specific applications include:
- Optimal design of pharmaceutical crystallizers that utilize process intensification to manufacture crystals of precisely controlled size and molecular structure;
- Multiscale modeling and design of nano- and microstructured polymeric materials that respond to internal or external stimuli to spatially control the release of macromolecules;
- Control of molecular systems and nanodevices, from molecular clustering on surfaces to carbon nanotube-based nanobiosensors.
