Research Projects - EPSRC CDT in Formulation Engineering
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Formulation Engineering collaborates with a variety of leading Research & Development (R&D) organisations. Partnerships ensure a joint approach to solving problems in a sustained manner, whilst access to a talented pool of research engineers provide novel ideas that are examined long-term and implemented.
Formulation Engineering is an interdisciplinary subject. Projects are undertaken by research engineers in different disciplines. Areas include: chemistry, physics and biochemistry. The modules taken depend on the students’ research background and the project, but they cover the fundamental science and engineering behind formulation engineering, as well as the business, legal and marketing aspects that allow research engineers to converse fully with other divisions of their sponsors.
Below are the seven main thematic areas within the CDT in Formulation Engineering Programme, along with all students and projects involved:
