PhD Studentship: Modelling of Strain-Rate Effects in Pharmaceutical Tabletting
Found in: beBee S GB - 2 weeks ago
Funder: Novo Nordisk (home and overseas candidates eligible)
Duration: 4 years (start October 2024)
Supervisor: Professor James Elliott
Stipend: EPSRC equivalent, £19327 per annum
During early-stage formulation and process development, scientists undergo extensive experimental screening campaigns and, although the tablet failure risk is reduced, there still exist risks that remain undetected and often cause issues during upscaling to production settings, leading to delays and at times undesired process changes. Being able to predict the compaction behaviour at different compression speeds, densities and compositions before formulations are transferred to large-scale production, will be a game changer in the tabletting field. Develop an experimental protocol to investigate the effect of the compression speed, tablet composition and powder characteristics on the tabletting performance.
The main aims of this project are:
- Improve our existing discrete element model ((VLS-DEM) to enable the compression performance prediction considering the attributes mentioned above
- Apply the framework to a systematic tablet production upscaling study
Applicants should have (or expect to be awarded) an upper 2nd or 1st class honours degree at the level of MSci, MEng (or overseas equivalents) in a relevant subject (Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Maths), some programming experience and a willingness to engage with industry throughout the project.
