Christopher Grimes works as an Application Scientist who obtained a degree in chemistry and chemical engineering. His PhD focussed on the modelling and optimising gas-liquid reactions to mineralised gaseous CO2 into particles with controlled morphology and size. Following his PhD, he transitioned into process development, scale up, optimisation and solid state selection for pharmaceutically active compounds. At the Henry Royce institute, I have applied my skills cultivated in the pharmaceutical industry to drive the development and optimisation of low carbon and energy ceramic production methods.
