The goal of the intern project is to support the development of a novel soft-sensor as a Process Analytical Tool (PAT) to accelerate the freeze-drying/lyophilization process. This involves using computational modeling (CFD) based on prior experimental work to study the Pirani pressure data to accurately determine the real-time sublimation flow rate, and therefore the true end point of primary drying. The intern will carefully perform sensitivity and uncertainty quantification studies with respect to the lyo process inputs/outputs and build fit-for-purpose soft-sensors for two manufacturing scale lyophilizers. It will help guide the initial lyo process scale-up/transfer of an important upcoming late-stage project. Validation of the predicted primary drying endpoint with be performed on lab scale lyophilizers and then scaled-up.
