Lucas Nahas

PhD student, University of Strathclyde

Lucas Nahas is a final-year PhD student in Chemical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, working on a GSK-funded research project focused on the development of in-situ methodologies to measure nucleation kinetics across scales. His research focuses on in-situ monitoring of crystallisation processes, with a particular emphasis on the role of fluid shear in secondary nucleation. His work combines process analytical technologies (PAT), imaging-based crystallisation monitoring, and hydrodynamic scale-up in pharmaceutical crystallisation systems.
