He has a strong background in computational methods and their application to real-world pharmaceutical challenges, including process optimization, solid-state and mechanistic modeling, and advanced manufacturing support. His interests lie in connecting scientific insight with practical industrial impact, especially where better models can reduce complexity, improve decision-making, and support more efficient development workflows.
DAY 2: May 29th, 2026
SESSION: Computationally Assisted Cleaning
◆ Reframing cleaning as an engineered process opens a path to faster validation and lower operational burden.
◆ Simulation-driven studies enable data-based decisions on cleaning performance before extensive destructive testing.
◆ Integrating predictive models with PAT can improve sustainability, profitability, and robustness of cleaning validation.
