Property Measurement and Testing of Powders for Pharmaceutical / Neutraceutical Production: Presenters
Professor A R Reed
Director of Regional Development
Professor Reed started his career as an indentured apprentice and, over the years, has held a number of positions in industry and the university sector. Between 1993 and 2001 he was the Head of Engineering at the University of Greenwich. In 2004 he became the University's Director of Regional Development and, in 2008, he also took on the role of Director of Postgraduate Research.
Over the last 20 years he has helped develop the University's Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology into, what is widely acknowledged by business, as one of the world's leading industrially orientated research and consultancy operations focussing on issues relating to storage, handling and physical processing of powder and granular solid materials.
Professor M Bradley
Director, The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology
Mike Bradley is Professor in Particle and Bulk Technology and Director of the Wolfson Centre. He was awarded both his honours degree and PHD from Thames Polytechnic (now the University of Greenwich) and, as the director/manager, provides technical leadership in all aspects of bulk solids handling. He was awarded professorship in 2006 and directorship in 2008.
Dr R Berry
Research Fellow, The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology
Rob Berry joined the Wolfson Centre as a full time PhD student in 1994 to evaluate silo design methods for reliable flow. As the projects in the Centre on various aspects of powder flowability increased, he changed to part time studies so he could help out on areas such as the QPM project. He was awarded his PhD in 2003. Rob is now a Researcher, concentrating on projects relating to powder flowability and helping with consultancy work. His interests are in silo design, powderflow measurements and feeder design.
Mr R Farnish
Consulting Engineer, The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology
Richard Farnish joined the Wolfson Centre in 1997 as a Research Fellow/Consultant Engineer. He has worked extensively on consultancy projects ranging on silo design, pneumatic conveying and segregation problems. He received an MPhil in 2006. His research interests are in optimising packaging and tanker filling systems.
Dr D Douroumis
Senior Lecturer, School of Science
Dr Douroumis joined the School of Sciences of Greenwich University in September 2007. He obtained his BSc in Chemistry and PhD from the Department of Pharmacy at Patras University in Greece where he studied the development of electroanalytical techniques for in situ monitoring of drug release from liposomal formulations. Later he worked as a postdoctoral fellow (2004) in Friedrich – Schiller University of Jena, Dept. of Pharmacy where he studied the development of parenteral formulations of antiepileptic drugs. In 2005 he worked for Phoqus Pharmaceuticals Ltd. in the Department of Product Development.
Dr I Slipper
Ian Slipper has worked as laboratory technician since 1979, he obtained a BSc (1st class hons) majoring in Geology from City of London Polytechnic in 1987. In 1989 he became electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction specialist technician for School of Earth Sciences in Thames Polytechnic which in 1992 became The University of Greenwich. He was awarded his PhD in 1997 from The University of Greenwich and has continued to work here, now running a suite of laboratories in the School of Science which offer the analytical services of Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction and X-ray Fluorescence to students, researchers and commercial clients.
Dr A Mendham
Andy Mendham joined the laboratory staff in the University of Greenwich in 1993. He obtained both his honours degree and PhD in Chemistry (2006), within the institution, by part time study. During this period, Andy has spent a considerable amount of time as manager of the NMR facility, in the School of Science. He has recently been promoted to the position of Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Analysis, and his research interests include using instrumental techniques such as Raman, infra red, and NMR spectroscopy, with respect to the structural and conformational analysis of organic molecules.
Dr M Antonijevic
Milan Antonijevic joined the School of Science, University of Greenwich in 2006. He obtained a BSc Hons in Chemistry from the School of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, Serbia (1997) and then spent just over four years working in the Quality Control Department (Physico-Chemical Characterisation) of the leading pharmaceutical company in Serbia (Hemofarm). His next career step involved a move to the UK and continuation of his education.
He was awarded PhD at the School of Pharmacy, Queen's University Belfast in 2005.
Dr B Alexander
Bruce started his research career studying electro-catalysts adsorbed on surfaces for fuel cells using a combination of Raman spectroscopy and electrochemistry. He has been working at the interface of physical and inorganic chemistry ever since. Bruce has gone on to develop expertise in the development of semiconductor materials for renewable energy technologies, such as solar hydrogen production, and the spectroscopic analysis of surfaces and thin films.
He maintains an active interest in computational chemistry, crucially allied to experimental data as a tool to understand structure and bonding in a range of systems and currently maintains the computational chemistry suite in the School of Science.
