  • Ecevit Bilgili

    Dr. Ecevit Bilgili is a professor of Chemical Engineering at NJIT. His Particle Engineering and Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology Lab has been conducting research in designing particulate formulations and processes for high-value-added products like pharmaceuticals with enhanced functionalities such as enhanced bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. His research interests center on the development of a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms–transformations involved during the formation of drug nanoparticles via top-down and bottom-up approaches, nanocomposite microparticles, and amorphous solid dispersions.

  • Bodhisattwa Chaudhuri

    Dr. Chaudhuri holds Professor positions in the Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and Institute of Material Sciences (IMS) at the University of Connecticut. He is formally trained in Chemical and Mechanical Engineering disciplines and focuses on solving problems of pharmaceutical significance with a rigor of engineering approaches.

  • Rohit Ramachandran

    Dr. Rohit Ramachandran is presently Associate Professor and Chancellor’s Scholar at the Department of Chemical & Biochemical Engineering at Rutgers University. His research interests are at the interface of process systems engineering and particulate technology. In his academic career, he has published 115 journal papers, 7 book chapters and 7 invited short papers. He has received the 2015 Chemical Engineering Outstanding Faculty Award, the 2017 Rutgers New Brunswick Chancellor-Scholar Award, the 2018 Rutgers Board of Trustees award and the 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Process Development to Manufacturing award.
