Job Description
Development Sciences R&D Intern Overview
This internship opportunity is in the Process Chemistry & Engineering groups which play key roles in developing transformative technologies that can launch new manufacturing strategies as part of AbbVies infrastructure. Under supervision of a senior scientist, the intern will focus on evaluating high shear mixing and particle breakage platforms, their designs, and correlate their performance at different scales through a deepened understanding of physical properties of reactive solids.
Key responsibilities include:
- Evaluate design and performance of small- and large-scale high-shear impellers, wet mill, and ultra sonic probes through computational modelling (CFD).
- Improve and validate modelling efforts by acquiring necessary physical property data and experimental evidence of key model systems.
- Characterize performance of model system consisting of insoluble bases (e.g., K3PO4 or Cs2CO3) in organic solvent (e.g., Toluene or dioxane) against different mixing platforms using PAT (e.g., EasyViewer, FBRM, etc.).
- Categorize platform performance by nature of collision and physical properties of solids determined by experimental and modelling efforts.
This internship will be based in North Chicago, IL.
