About this book
Optimization of Pharmaceutical Processes presents contributions from leading authorities in the fields of optimization and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Formulated within structured frameworks, practical examples and applications are given as guidance to apply optimization techniques to most aspects of pharmaceutical processes from design, to lab and pilot scale, and finally to manufacturing. The increasing demand for better quality, higher yield, more efficient-optimized and green pharmaceutical processes, indicates that optimal conditions for production must be applied to achieve simplicity, lower costs and superior yield. The application of such methods in the pharmaceutical industry is not trivial. Quality of the final product is of major importance to human health and the need for deep knowledge of the process parameters and the optimization of the processes are imperative.
The volume, which includes new methods as well as review contributions will benefit awide readership including engineers in pharmaceuticals, chemical, biological, to name just a few.

About the editors
Dr. Rohit Ramachandran is currently Associate Professor & Chancellor’s Scholar at the Dept. of Chemical & Biochemical Engineering and the Engineering Research Center of Structured Organic Particulates, at Rutgers University. He received his B.Eng and M.Eng in Chemical Engineering, with a minor in Law, from the National University of Singapore in 2003 and 2005 respectively. This was followed by his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Center of Process Systems Engineering, Imperial College London in 2008. Thereafter he pursued a postdoctoral associate position at the Dept of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His current research interests are in modeling, control, optimization and experimental validation of pharmaceutical and chemical processes. He has published more than 100 peer reviewed journal articles and has presented his work at numerous national and international conferences as well as at invited seminars at various universities and industrial companies. He has won several awards such as the NSF Career award for young faculty, two NIPTE Young investigator awards, the Rutgers Chancellor’s Scholar award, the Rutgers Board of Trustees award for research excellence and the AIChE Process to Development QbD award for contributions in pharmaceutical drug product manufacturing.
