Thomas McGlone, Research Fellow, University of Strathclyde

Thomas completed a MSci degree in chemistry at the University of Glasgow before continuing on to gain a PhD under the supervision of Professor Lee Cronin. He then moved to the University of Strathclyde as a postdoctoral research associate, undertaking two industry supported knowledge transfer projects with Fujifilm and Syngenta, in order to carry out feasibility projects in the area of continuous manufacturing. He subsequently joined CMAC, the UK based national centre for continuous manufacturing and crystallisation, where he was recently promoted to research fellow. His interests lie in continuous crystallisation, specifically oscillatory baffled crystallisers and associated workflows for transferring from batch to continuous. Thomas is an active member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and was elected younger member representative for the Scottish Steering Group in 2012. He was also shortlisted for the BASF Young Ambassador Award 2013 by the Chemical Industry Association.
