Dear friends, I am switching the platform for sharing news about our research group to Linkedin. I hope you can follow us there. linkedin.com/in/asterios-ga…

Our collaborative paper, led by Arun Pankajakshan, @galvanin_fede demonstrates an ML framework for identification of feasible operating region and size tuning of ibuprofen microparticles made by flow precipitation in an automated synthesis platform. doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.…

Congratulations to George Gkogkos for winning one of the Special Poster Awards from Reaction Chemistry and Engineering in the #IMRET17 in Graz, Austria. The prize includes £200 voucher for RSC books and a free RSC student membership for a year.

Well done to Jacopo Piovesan, co-supervised with S Murdan @sudaxshina (UCL Pharmacy), who passed his PhD viva examination. His thesis is entitled “Synthesis of silver, copper and zinc oxide nanoparticles and their potential application as antifungal agents”. Many congratulations!

Many congratulations to Mabel Cornwell who successfully defending her PhD thesis “Studies Towards the Optimisation of the Continuous Flow Production of Nanomaterials by Development of Fine-tuned Reproducible and Robust Particle Synthesis Techniques”!

In our recent paper, Gkogkos et al. study the hydrodynamics and investigate the use of CSTR cascades for iron oxide nanoparticle production at large throughput. doi.org/10.1016/j.cep.…

Pleased to see that the paper by Pal et al, on the automated continuous crystallization platform of nanopharmaceuticals that we developed within the NanoAPI EPSRC project team (L.Mazzei , @galvanin_fede , @MBesenhard D.Craig has been published: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Many congratulations to Eleni for having passed the viva examination for her PhD thesis "Development of Integrated Platforms for Automated Kinetic Profiling of Chemical Reactions". Well done and well-deserved Dr Grammenou!

A system of 3D printed CSTRs coupled with an impinging jet device in a compact configuration developed by Gkogkos et al show promise for scalable nanoparticle synthesis. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
