Our research focuses on use of particle engineering to design systems and products for solving some of the challenging problems in the industry for example pharmaceutical, food, water treatment, energy industries. For example we design particulate products that can be used as adsorbents for the removal of dyes and heavy metals from waste water; formulations that can be used enhance drug delivery, material that can be applied as storage systems for gases or carbon capture. Different modelling techniques such as discrete Element Modelling (DEM) and Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are used as tools for the research.
