Advanced Polymer Chemistry, Chemical Recycling & Circular Economy, Sustainable Coatings, Macromolecular Synthesis, Particle Engineering, and Application of Machine Learning in Chemical Process Optimization.

Summer Intern - Crystallization & Particle Engineering, QbD, API R&D at Cipla Ltd, Vikhroli (2026-05 – 2026-06)

Applied Quality by Design (QbD) principles to API Research & Development, implementing systematic risk assessments and Design of Experiments (DoE) to optimize critical process parameters (CPPs).

• Optimized API crystallization processes to consistently achieve desired polymorph selection, crystal habits, and high chemical purity.
• Engineered particle properties (size distribution, morphology, and surface area) to enhance downstream formulation processability and dissolution profiles.
• Scaled up crystallization parameters from lab to pilot scale, utilizing process analytical technology (PAT) tools to monitor real-time supersaturation and chord length distribution.
• Characterized solid-state properties of developed APIs using techniques such as XRPD, DSC, TGA, and PSD analysis to ensure strict compliance with quality target product profiles (QTPP).
