Biography

Professor Ramkrishna's research group is focused on applying mathematics to solve problems in chemical and biochemical reaction engineering and biotechnology. His work often involves linear and nonlinear analysis of ordinary partial differential equations, stochastic processes, and population balance modeling. Currently, he investigates multidimensional population balance modeling in crystallization processes, aiming to control crystal morphology. He has established collaborations to apply cybernetic modeling to metabolic engineering, particularly in yeast development for bioethanol production. His research also encompasses the application of population balance models in cancer chemotherapy, working with clinical data to support advancements in treatment methodologies. His program includes collaborative projects that utilize mathematical modeling to explore drug resistance in planktonic cells and biofilms, contributing to enhanced understanding of these phenomena in chemical engineering contexts.
