Pharmaceutical Formulations

Heiko Briesen holds the Chair for Process Systems Engineering at Technical University of Munich (TUM). He studied Chemical Engineering in Karlsruhe at the currently named Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of Cincinnati. During his academic career at RWTH Aachen, the Max-Planck-Institute in Magdeburg and Technical University of Munich (TUM) he worked on several aspects of modeling, simulation and mathematical optimization for different applications spanning petrochemical, bio engineering, food and pharmaceutical processes. One of the focal applications for many years is the formulation of crystals. To achieve predictive modeling tools for crystal formulations a wide range of tools on various scales from molecular dynamics, via Monte-Carlo-simulations and population balance models, to final process flow sheeting are employed.
