Background

About Brice Calvignac

I am Full Professor in Chemical Engineering and Associate Dean of Research at Polytech Angers Engeenring school (University of Angers, France). My fields of teaching, scientific and pedagogical support for student-engineers are related to Process Engineering and the formulation of health products (agri-food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals) on both theoretical and practical aspects. I obtained my PhD in chemical engineering at Mines ParisTech in 2009 and awarded in 2010 by the International Society for Advancement of Supercritical Fluids (ISASF). Since 2013, I established a new research thematic in the MINT lab about Micro/Nanotechnology engineering of drug delivery systems such as Micro/Nanomedicines and medical devices. I have a strong expertise in 3D printing, microfluidics and supercritical CO2 technologies for drug carrier formulation (such as Lipidic nanoemulsions, PLGA microparticles and nanostructured CaCO3 particles) and the implementation process of in situ characterization techniques (UV-Vis, confocal Raman microscopy, SAXS/WAXS). Research Interests Chemical Engineering - Supercritical fluid technology - Microfluidics - Pharmaceutical technologies - Particle generation - Phase equilibria - Measurements and Modelling of physical properties - In-situ characterization - Surface functionalization - Biomaterials - Nanostructured marerials - Drug delivery - Control release - Micromedicines - Nanomedicines - Health products - 3D Printing
