Abstract
Wet granulation is an industrial process used to create larger stable agglomerates (granules) from fine powders. This has many desirable outcomes such as improving flowability, compactibility, and homogeneity. Granulation is commonly employed in the food, pharmaceutical, detergent, and fertilizer industries, but can suffer with high recycle ratios in continuous processes and high rejection rates in batch processes.
With twin screw granulation becoming a popularly employed method of wet granulation, an in-depth understanding of particle enlargement in the granulating process is necessary in order to improve the quality of the final product without the need for large-scale physical Design-of-Experiment studies.
Slides can be added in a few ways:
- Create slides using Wowchemy’s Slides feature and link using
slidesparameter in the front matter of the talk file - Upload an existing slide deck to
static/and link usingurl_slidesparameter in the front matter of the talk file - Embed your slides (e.g. Google Slides) or presentation video on this page using shortcodes.
Further event details, including page elements such as image galleries, can be added to the body of this page.

My research interests include particulate mechanics, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and other numerical simulation tools. I’m also interested in all things data and how to extract meaningful information from it.
