Biography

Dr. Xizhong Chen is an Eli Lilly Lecturer and Principal Investigator in Process & Chemical Engineering, School of Engineering, at University College Cork (UCC). He got a BSc degree in Chemical Engineering from Xiamen University and a Ph.D. from the EMMS group at the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was a Marie Curie Experienced Researcher at the University of Edinburgh where he worked for the EU FP7 T-MAPPP project and IFPRI Grindability project. Before joining UCC, he was a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge where he worked for the advanced digital design transforming pharmaceutical development and manufacture (ADDoPT) project and Processing and Formulation Engineering of Inhalable Nanoaggregates and Microparticles (INFORM 2020) project.
